Perfect dude thanks. Mine doesn't seem to sit right I am not sure if the bumper is causing issues as mine doesn't follow the curve of headlights like that. think it either is going to need modding or not fit it.

Mine is the same Jay, I think i am going to have to mod it a little to get it to follow the lines of the lights..
 
Ah ok Cheers Add I wasn't sure if as I had a replacement bumper it was throwing things out a little, I am sure it isn't helping the fitment tbh but I reckon I need to trim a small (1-2mm) height of off the very corners where it fits tight into the lights then I might have a go at building it up a little to contour round the headlight as it comes up towards the bonnet.

My grille is very solid too which is a good thing as its tough but it doesn't allow me much maneuvering lol

Exactly the same as mine then Jay, it seems to sit more flush to the bumper on one side more than the other.. i also need to trim the points to follow the lights then it may look a lot better... I may just see if sanding down and then spraying will do the trick..? I also need to bond it to the bumper properly, as right now it's just fixed in the middle...
 
Thats along the lines I am thinking sand down the pointy ends to get them to sit in better then maybe build up the bits it doesn't follow the line so well from behind. just not sure if I like it on and whether to do the work or sell it on, the main reason for going for it is trying to find a C2 grille with a cougar head on is never going to happen.

Compare it with my oem one tomorrow jas. The outer points don't folow the headlight lines but set about 1/2" towards the centre. The centre upright of mine is near enough flush with the front lip of the bonnet.
I have three angle grinders with varying degrees of cutting and grinding capabilities :eek:
 
Ooh, maybe I'll chuck it in the car and have a look see while the front end is stripped! :eek: mine is really tight at the pointed ends Al where the headlight meets the bumper but a bit "gappy" as it climbs towards the bonnet.

I'll go put it in car now ;)

Sounds like the angle is too steep. We can grind a bit off to fit :LOL:
