As per title has anyone brought a grill off eBay ? The ones without holes are they gd quality. ?
Has anyone used there original and filled the holes ? Pics and reviews would be really grateful
-
I got one because i went badgeless fits like oem basically
Not sure if there all the same though
-
I filled mine with a Wurth plastic repair, smoothed it down and sprayed matte black. I never even considered purposely buying one, not when it's so easy to do yourself!
-
hmm not so sure...
i could definately do it but would it look as good...

It would probably cost the same or very near to get the original one done at a body shop then you won't have another grill lying round in the garage either.. Or have a go at it yourself and if you mess it up.. Take it to a body shop or buy the ebay one. Can't hurt to have a go can it :smiley:

Very true suppose it goes like the saying buy cheap buy twice ... Shame they look good on the photos hahahah ... If anyone else has fitted one stick a photo on
Thanks

Sorry for digging up an old thread but you're damned if you do and damned if you dont!
Has anybody had any further experience with the eBay grille's? Looking at the one below - £30-ish against the OEM which is £140-ish?!

They fit fine

On this subject then, has anyone bought a full new set of grills from eBay that look OEM and fit well?
I was about to buy plastidip for the grills and also try to get the red strip looking a bit better, but if the price of a new set isn't too much then I may just buy new. Any links would be great. :happy2:

I bought a set of open fog grills and they were a tiny bit big, only a problem when removing, otherwise looked alright, I removed them though because no backing piece to stop stuff flying in.
