I'll jinx it:

1/ don't break it while placing it

2/ hope the bonnet cable doesn't snap the week after, you'll have to cut it

That's nothing.

I waited nearly 6 months for my Nomad pod to finally arrive, and after an offer was withdrawn and further possibility lost I nearly gave up.

Ironically, When I had my first coupe, I was given a second hand exhaust for free by a coupster selling up. When I was at his house I noticed his honeygrille in the shed and he gave me that too for free!!!

Congratulations

Since you have been deceived into believing that your grill is superior in appearance to the only good one - the 'chipcutter' grill on a 16NA - you are forgiven the animations.

Just this once, mind.

Do you know what - I almost put a 16 grill on there instead!!!

If for nothing else, just to remind me of simpler, cheaper, more rewarding times during coupe ownership.

Joe and I were discussing your whereabouts last weekend. You have been quiet of late, we thought maybe you had been kidnapped?

We started a ransome fund and we were up to £1.25 but we had to spend that on biscuits discussing your impending imprisonment laugh

IF the grilles are worth £200 then plus owners better get theirs glued into situ!

Grille theft might be on the rise! laugh

Excuse my ignorance, and sorry to hi-jack the thread... but I have a receipt for a grill from AA which the previous owner bought some time ago. It doesn't seem to fit properly and I aim to acquire one that fits in due course.

Can anyone identify my grill? It looks a bit like a plus grill to my untrained eye??? blush

Oooooo! laugh

But I thought you had already got one? Greedy! tongue

I have not got my car at home at the moment and not going to for a week or two, maybe longer, but can anyone confirm if they fit differently? Or do I need to take another look at it to secure it properly?

I may well swap it for a standard one as long as it fits properly... Mind you, £200 would go a long way towards my pending bill for the water leak and MOT! laugh

Rats! laugh

I will have a look at the holes on the bumper when I get her back. Thanks.

Off to look for a picture of a standard grill just in case I don't feel brave with a drill! in which case it may be offered for a sensible price or swap.... watch this space! smile
