jim Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Kenny I am sure others will reply to this fairly quickly, but they will probably agree with me - you can get a similar product from Halfords for a bit less which does a good job. I was a bit sceptical but I am really pleased with the results. Try a search on "chrome grill" or similar and you will pick up the thread which will gve you the details of the actual product.

jim Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 This is a very cheap mod and does look smart Just make sure you seal it properly eh? what??? By sealing do you mean ensuring that it adheres properly? Or did you use wax or some other coating to protect it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Thanks for the warning. I haven't noticed any problems as yet, but I will take your advice and see if I can prevent that happening. Looks good ATM though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nana Moon Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Fitted my new grill today and it wasn’t quite as straightforward as I thought. Very happy with the result though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam's Z Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 very nice nana slightly wonky at the top but very good expensive??? and how did you fit it, take it the bumper came off??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana Moon Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 It is a bit wonky at the top, ill sort that tomorrow. It cost 142 Pounds so not cheap. The old plastic grill had to be chopped out completely to fit the new one (I was a bit nerves about that as the grill is for an MY06 only and mine is a 03).

Liam's Z Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Looks like you need 2 cut the top slightly shorter than the rest Brave man hacking away,,, but worth it imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 my grill hasn't bubbled up at all. Think yours liam is more the U shaped stuff (like the stuff you could put along the edge of doors to protectect the paintwork) if I remember correctly. That is no longer available in Halfords and only the more flatter section with adhesive backing in two widths is in stock. Some pictures here of the halfords kit fitted http://www.350z-uk.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
