Only burgers you'll get off my grill is road kill, you'll also have to make them yourself

Can't wait. If it's as good as i hope it is, it'll be on my shopping list.

It must be the way the camera is catching the light because to me the red one looks like a lot chunkier slats going across compared to the silver one

Between the two cars...red and silver, they are two completely different grills

It won't affect your warranty except on the grill.. or anything damaged while changing the grill..

@ Craig.. Looking forward to the photos M8 (a nice Mod!)

Just picked her up, I think it looks great

, two thirds of the impact foam behind the grill had to be removed as it just doesn't fit with the new grill though it's supposed to be compatible with the other style 2012-2014 grill.

Wingerdave · **Reply #41: April 29, 2015, 08:14:05**

That's very nice............. It has something.

Pity you have stick a butt-ugly registration plate on it.

CraigB · **Reply #42: April 29, 2015, 08:27:17**

Yeah rego plates will spoil it, but not much that can be done about it unfortunately as we've all gotta have em

It'll be a couple of weeks with the plate in the window now as I'm still waiting on the mount to be delivered.

Craig, was it tricky to install?

Trickiest part was driving to the panel & paint shop who installed it for me

If you've got all the stuff ( tools/space/skills ) necessary to change it then it's doable, the guys at the shop did have some issues getting it to fit with the impact foam that sits behind the grill so most of it had to be cut away, the new grill isn't as rounded/forward projection as the old and with the bit of stuffing around it took them about 2 or 3 hours.

What if they were these style?

Slimline for the front of course.

Slimline plates would look nicer though you would still need the mount, the space between the two centre louvers is only 45mm.

Would be less in your face if slim and colour coded.

True, maybe black plates with white lettering would look good but at $500 to $600

I just picked up a MY16 ActiveX with the new grille. Personally I prefer the old SR front grille.

Though the new model comes with additional perks

I think you'll find your Active X grill is different to the version I have used, there are two types...one is premium and the other is for the base models Active and Active X.

Hey CraigB - if you still have your old grill can you tell me if you can remove the chrome trim on the top part of the grill? I am curious as to whether I can just take this off or if I have to paint it (or maybe go for a new grill....) Cheers mate

CraigB · **Reply #56: May 18, 2015, 12:53:19**

Yeah the trim is removable but you'll be left with screw and push clip holes, I'd paint over it if that's the way you're wanting to go.

I'm getting worried about you Dazz and this fetish for vinyl.
