yeah, basically, the four screws at the top had nothing to screw into like the old grill. so use some white blocks with a screw/bolt system in it, and clamped it down all the way. and the bottom was slightly broken too, but stays in fine ... at the moment lol

So... Thanks AdamR8, got the grill today and after having to spend over £700 on the car this morning, the grill went on. So happy with it and is in real good condition, so thanks alot!

If you guys wanted to know what the £700 was about - the car finally went in to get new brakes, after having the warning light up for a month or two :s , my dad got a phone call saying the tyres were illegal due to camber wear so needed changing, all bushes were split and completely shot, so all got replaced (lowers), then finally the original job of new brake pads and discs too.

They even washed it for me :D

Sorry for the iPhone pics

Thanks buddy :). And yeah It did kinda seem abit bigger but felt like a nicer fit. I'm really after anything to be honest, I'd love some bbs rs but don't have that sort of money, so maybe some OEM alloys from VW

right so havnt been on here in ages due to a load of things going on at home n stuff.

basically the car is back to standard mostly, due to the insurance company not being able to insure me with the coilies. apparently they dont insure modifications for people under 25! b******s.

so anyways, currently either thinking about switching for a bora, or my mums bmw. either way i would be super happy haha.

posting some stuff in for sale in abit so please give it a look or tell mates etc.
