February 20, 200917 yr Author comment_320594 you sure about that mate i was told they were a different size but it clipped straight on Report
February 20, 200917 yr comment_320603 I went to the wreckers and took a grill off one car and put it on another and it was too big. Maybe your grill is different. I have the black horizontal venetian look grill. Report
February 20, 200917 yr Author comment_320606 u could always buy the grille and just file a few mill off each side. wayne Report
February 20, 200917 yr comment_320609 Hi Wayne, good work on finding the new grill, it looks much less fussy, are you going to paint it white to match the bumpers?. Johno, your'e Seca and my Hatch are series 1, made in 1985/86. Waynes model is the series 2 made from late 1986/89 that has a different grill and headlight setup. And as you said the series 2 grill is larger than the series 1, and does need pursuading to fit. Report

February 23, 200917 yr comment_321656 hi overrated ke70 i won`t be painting it at the moment the whole car is being repainted a different color wayne Unless you really like sanding till your fingers bleed or spending 5k+ on a respray I wouldn't do it. Painting it same colour would be alright, just not a full colour change. Its a HUGE pain the the ass. Trust me... :) Report
February 23, 200917 yr Author comment_321694 johno if i do a lot of sanding i buy a cheap pair of gloves i know what you mean about fingers bleeding i used to do fibreglassing when i was younger. Report
