Appreciate this might be a common question but most of the threads are now outdated.

Can anybody recommend a seller for an RS style honeycomb grill? Ideally one that is easily fitted as I know some require adjustments to the crash bar which I don't fancy doing.

On a side note, can anybody recommend a vinyl specialist in the Nottingham area? I'm looking to dechrome my car

Is yours a B9, if so it's not a simple install due to bumper airbag system as well, modifications would need to be made to the foam iirc from my last one & other areas to make it fit correctly, I recall having to spray parts as they're visible as silver through the grill & some black duck tape or it looks awful.

Thanks for the response, apologies for not including the model in the post; yes its a B9.

From what I can tell, the issue to do with the foam and airbag system is based on the supplier, as some members say its a quick installation, others say it involves some extra work.

Ones I've fitted havnt been that straight forward, but again, the foam & bar need blacking out or it'll look out of place tbh & you won't like it.

I got mine from aliexpress… bought 2 at the same time just incase!

Bonus was the front camera just clips in!

The foam needed shaving - but wasnt difficult.

Looks awesome!

Was the fitting with the crash bar okay? I know some bumpers require a Dremel tool to make more space for the parking sensors.

I don't suppose you could provide a link or if you'd be interested in selling your spare one?

Hi. I am interested in this too. I just do not want to deal with the camera issue that some grills have. Link would be highly appreciated.

Sorry only just seen this.

Didn't need to cut anything for the parking sensors apart from the foam… i bought some right angled parking sensors just incase but were not needed.

looks like the seller of my grill is no longer available… but i could sell my spare one (which comes with black rings) as its just gathering dust in my loft!!
