Well done mate top job
Looks great on the silver and black cars not sure that the chrome grills work with the Subaru blue tho.

Thats looks good. I can never make up my mind whether to get one. Do you have a picture of the whole car with it on so you can get a perspective? Thanks.

^Thats my only thought, I dont want to look like Ive driven through a Halfords store and somehow got some silver grill attached. I do like the look of them on a silver car, I wonder if a gun metal colour would look good on blue?

Goto Members gallery, take a look at Gonzo's car in the "Lets see your Spec D's" thread.

Gonzo has the same grills, with far better pictures etc.....mine is on there too, well worth a look.

I can absolutley understand where you are coming from, i cant see how silver grills would work on anything aside a silver car.....maybe black car for the contrast.....cant see anything else working so well...

The RB320 springs to mind with the silver on black approach. That looks quite good.

Yes looked at too many now with silver grills and black RB320 and the Silver are the only cars I would think about on. Mine still have the black tops and I'm fitting a black lower but the one that's a bit further back to keep the big wide mouth look.

Splitter has to be a must - transforms the front of the car :-)

I think it looks great. How's the old grill removed and the new one fitted?

Was thinking about getting a black hawk Sti and fitting the Prodrive grills.

Cheers Andy....~Basically you remove the left and right two grills from the top first, this allows access to the clips for the middle upper grill. However nerves of steel are required since you are at some point forcing the grills out, of course you pop the little clips first....Then with top grills out you wash them of, and undo a few screw to get access to swap the grills out; done this in the kitchen. The lower grill is supplied with clips and gets fitted via 4 drill holes at the bottom, and clips in the top, to give a reassuringly good fit.... about an hour, maybe 1.5hrs in all, but ***** off steel were needed, certainly for me....no fun taking and drill to a perfectly good front bumper, and forcing plastic clips from there surrounds....But good instructions came with them, so no sweat really....

Cheers mate. And I definitely preferred "after". Do I get two votes?
