Fitting crosshatch / mesh style grille in lower models?

[cocos3]

I'm still keen to put the lower mesh grille in...but still have to find a good price...and justify it! Want to put good DRLs in too...where will it end...........

I'm still keen too.

Just waiting for some spare cash- and a way to justify the expense!

I may have ordered a grille , a bit of an expensive exercise (but a nice 1st birthday present for the Kizashi.)

Hi David....good for you! Where did you end up ordering it? Still want to do mine too...but gotta prioritise...
I'm close to ordering the spoiler that I've mentioned before..(cheaper!)... Maybe I'll do the grille for my car's first in January.
Have to talk us through the fitting process when you get there...

I ordered it from the local Suzuki dealer. The Australian $ has headed south, so the USA option isn't so attractive (plus there's issue of damage in transit and I never got a freight quote.)

It will be a bumper off job to fit it. I'll be doing something about colour coding the centre section of bumper as well. It might also be a good time to upgrade to slimline number plates - more money!

Excuse the poor quality photos, but you get the idea. I'm thinking black would have been better for the bumper bar though- any opinions? It's a grey colour at the moment.

Well theres all of my Kizashi hopes and dreams... Grey looks awesome, matches the new Swift Sport! Only Matte (which is better!)

That's funny - I didn't even realise they had the grey on them! There is a gloss top coat, but it would show up any paint defects.

Looks great! Was the lower grille a direct swap or did you have to modify it?

Theres a silver swift that parks next to me at work sometimes, always gives me that idea - congrats on being the first!
