Definitely an improvement in the lower grill, Andy. How much to import, might I ask?

One concern: we know that Ford moves in mysterious ways, but why on earth would they go to the cost of re-designing such a part for export models so as to be obviously less aesthetically pleasing unless they had to, be it either for functional or road-legal reasons in the EU?

This still miffs me as it spoils the look of the front for no reason.

Why fit what looks like a Dacia lower grill in place of the one that goes with the original upper grill.

I realise that the lower grill is what is fitted to cars with ACC but this option was never an option over here.

I got it from new take off, and was $162 shipped, (for upper and lower) but got stung another £50 in duties:(

Yes Ian....did the whole lot by myself. Jacked car up, remove wheels, remove undertray, remove arch liners, remove top rad panel, undo wiring connectors on lower lights, undo all bumper fasteners, and remove from car.....not hard at all:thumbsup:
