Hi Narpy
The car was standard when I bought it a year ago, all mods done by me and 10 year old son. This sight and people like you provided the inspiration

The grill is a combination of a ff range rover and the original disco grill. no it doesn't bolt straight on, took a lot of cutting shaping.
Photobomb lol....it's my daughters hat.

Yes -it was Renton and I think at least one other member who provided the inspiration. There was a thread on here about a year ago with loads of different grille mods and I fancied trying this one out, just never got round to posting a pic on here until now.
Thanks for the kind comments......my son is well into it and I dread to think what he is going to do to his first car when he turns 17!
Slight off topic, does anyone know where I can get a guide to replacing the air con condenser unit, looks straight forward enough but a guide would be a massive help.
