The plus grill is looks so much better IMHO. It also looks excellent on darker colours when it is colour coded, Nismos' car is an excellent example of this.

I think the slatted one looks really nice on your colour, but if you have a honey combe the only way to tell is to put it on and see what you think.

I do like nismo's Car but not sure colour coding it would work on your car. There was a guy offering to do free photoshops for people on here. Get him to colour code it in a picture for you.

The honeycomb grille makes such a difference, when the old one's off lay them side by side; the honeycomb one looks much longer even though it's not and it has the same effect when it's on the car.

I've got a black honeycomb grile on my wine red and it looks the business. Really updates the appearance of the car

You'll need to drill two new holes in your bumper to fit the honeycomb grille.

What shocked they were £23 when I bought one last in 2006 crazy I used to buy them and stick them straight on ebay where they sold each and every time for £60, nice little earner they were.

lov3joy does the photoshopping. Just a thought if you are playing with the colour scheme - how would a silver grill look? Would coordinate with the wheels and filler cap?! Might look good with the wine red,

This isn't as scary as it sounds, 5 minute job.

I got mine from AA a couple of months back, was about £35 I think.

It's very simple of course but if CD was wanting to test fit the plus grille, he might not want two new holes.
