I'd try fitting it on the car using someone with small finger or someone that likes fine work.

Re: Re chrome grill 2 Years, 11 Months ago  
This will need to be done in 5 stages -
1/ Remove tail lights, tailgate, rear doors and the rear seats.
2/ Then remove front doors, front seats and complete dash instrumentation including foot pedals & wiring.
3/ Push out windscreen and remove bonnet.
4/ Remove front gaurds and engine complete
oh! dont forget the windscreen washer bottle.
5/ Remove radiator
Once standing in the engine bay ask someone to hold the grille in place while you secure from behind grille.
Then reassemble.
See yu on sunday......lol

Hi Ray 2 Years, 11 Months ago  
Thanks Ray for you detailed info we did it step by step as to your list and managed to get it fitted only problem was getting the rear tailgate to align to close properly but with the help of a angle grinder made it fit. see you tomorrow. Tailgate now needs to be touched up with some paint. Also changed coolant while we had the radiator out . lol Phil.

Phil when you look down onto the bonnet at the front of the car can you see the engine?.............yes....well it's probably because you fitted the rear hatch to the front instead.......anyway we look forward to seeing the modification tomorrow.
