Oxford White GT

Hmm, let me have a think about it!

Here it is, the post you've all been waiting the entire weekend for....THE GRILL IS NOW ON!!

So, first things first; make sure you have a socket capable of removing your front wheel nuts without the bar touching the wheel as the HRE's are hella deep at the front. One trip to Halfords later...

Second thing on the list, realise your jack no longer fits under the car as it's now lowered and although lifting the rear is ok, lifting the front is not. Also scrabble in shed for suitable lengths of wood to drive on to to gain enough clearance.

Third: realise that your jack is incapable of lifting said car up onto the stupidly high axle stands you have and therefore a new pair are required. Trip 2 to a motor factor for those.



Fourth; finally start work on the car!

It got scary at this point:



This was more work than it looks:



This lower grill....this lower grill can get to fuck!! :frusty: I must've spent 45 mins trying to get that bastard out. Those clips would just not let go!



Getting somewhere now :clap2:



Aaaaaaaand we're done!



Stupid amount of time and effort involved for something that adds no performance and that I can't even see when I'm in the car! :lol:

So if anyone requires any pointers or advice on the grill itself or the stupid amount of push-pins that need removing from the undertray & wheel wells, feel free to ask. :headbonk:

Don't let me put you off though! :lol:

Ooooof, yes!

Looks great mate but the badge is wonky.

Looks nice mate, well done

Looks utterly superb!

It does have a smidge of a lean but nowhere near as bad as the pic makes out.

I had to put it on with the same glue I used on the mesh, in the absence of a suitable alternative fixing method, which meant putting it on before the grill went anywhere near the car. If you actually look at the holes in the mesh along the side of the badge you'll see it's reasonably lined up.

I suspect getting it off and moving it will not be a simple affair. :lol:

Just leave it. It matches the "fangs". Tell everyone you meant it ;)

It does look like it in the pic but it's not that angled.

I think it's because I was using the holes in the mesh to line it up as it was done before it went on the car. I would've liked to have put the grill and bumper on and then just stuck the badge on after.

Although if I continue to get ripped I may have to sort it! :lol:

Nice! The grilles turned out great! Glad I was able to help others, as that was my original intent when I made the thread. :cheers:

Brave man pulling the bumper to bits! I've just gone off the idea of the 50yr Anniversary grille :doh:

Now that, that looks something special on the front now. Loving it mate!!!

Now, with the effort I think I'll stick to a black plastidip on my pony..... ...

I was reading your post thinking exactly that :lol: I think I would not be allowed near the car again if the other half saw the front end looking like that :eyebulge:addle:

NICE! Looks Great!
