Great! Looks fab! How easy is it to fit the orginal grille to the aerokit bumper? Do they just fit straight on or did it take some adjustment to get your S grille on the aero kit bumper?

Were you able to paint the middle grille (i.e. top of the bumper) without removing the bumper?

No I had the aero grill fitted and the sprayed the original OEM grill off of the car. Then fitted that back on.

Top grill is obviously a straight swap.

The lower bit requires "bodging" and alterations to the grill (i.e., removing of tabs that slot into standard bumper).

its probably a 2/5 difficulty if that.

Not selling it just yet in case I need to replace it. Will see

TBH I thought they were only about £30 from the dealer.

You have to make the plate holder yourself, measure the plate and then cut a section out of the plate holder so the plate fits tight in the holder and glue together, fit to car and job done, word of warning if your plate is 6 or less digits your old number plate holder screws will be seen on the bumper
