It had a kit and 17's, and instead of cutting out their old grille to put in an aftermarket one, they had painted their V-Grille matt black. It looked good and i was thinking about doing it on mine, but i was wondering if the chrome V-Grille is a replaceable part?

Had to snap the old one off! Then new one just slots into place. It could do with a bit of glue of something to hold it in place as the original was heated from the back to melt the pin on the back of the v-grill to hold it on!

Looks good si_reading.
Willay i wouldnt get a replacement grille cos you have to cut your old grille out, if you are thinking of selling the car easily when you want to sell it, then you want to be able to return it to standard without buying a whole new front bumper
