Cheers bud! I used a land rover place in leechmere ind estate in grangetown, they had never done anything that low so was a learning curve for them haha I've used them and revolution in Gateshead. Both are spot on but I'd be more inclined to use revolution.

Nice one.. I used revolution to set mine up not long after I bought the car but it's gone down another 30mm in the last few weeks so really needs to be checked again..

Could you post a link up to the lower grille (FK?) when you have chance.

Are your lobster claws 8" all round then, not 11" at back?

Bought my first house/ in the process of buying it. Only about half a mile from work which is a bonus as I can just jump on the bike and ride there. One thing I didnt fully think through was getting the car on the drive. The pictures show how close it is, excuse the dirt, I havn't had time to clean it.

Cheers lads. The front grill is in the bin! We couldn't get it to work for various reasons, mainly the flexibility being an issue so the plan is to just get the black honeycombe one sprayed to match the gloss black fog grills. Gutted but sometimes risks don't pay off!

I wondered why I was getting funny looks off neighbors and passers by when getting the car off the drive, wasn't until one of the neighbors was shouting stop that I realised it was this close off the drive haha will easily come down another 5 mm though I told him :D

Any chance you can elaborate on the grill and why it wouldn't work?
In the process of attempting it just now but slightly off put now you mention a bodyshop even had trouble.

Yeah mate, the lad I bought it off had already made an attempt at it so had cut the grill, so he couldn't do it the way he wanted as he was trying to work from that. Secondly I couldn't give him the car for longer than a few days as its my only transport so he tried to do it off the car so it was a factor of not having the car and it being precut that caused the problem. My advise to you would be build the grill in the car.
