Hi,
Sorry to be taking the lazy option - I've just noticed the bolts at the bottom of my front grille are all missing. Can someone let me know what sort of bolts I need to get to secure the grille to the stone tray?
Cheers,
iain

Thanks fellas, I found some in the High Tensile range at the local hardware shop. For some reason none of them were attached to bottom of the grille...
Cheers,
Iain

before you put it all back together it would be a good idea to pull the grille out and paint the guard sections black , if that's your car in your avatar

Yeah it is. That never occurred to me until you mentioned it. Thanks.

I think the reason I never noticed it was that I spend most of my time in the driver's seat looking out...
What's wrong with my number plate?

Nothing really - back when they were new the plates were fitted with the bottom edge flush with the bottom of the bumper , its no biggie but its one thing that plays merry hell with Tim's OCD

Balance is finally restored to the universe... And the stone tray bolts have finally been installed. Thanks for pointing out the blue fender issue - can't believe I hadn't noticed that before. I think the number plate's gonna stay how it is though. I think I prefer it hanging below rather than sticking up above. The job also made me fix up some wiring issues with the wiring of my dual vauxhall horns.
Before and after...
