Im undecided on what to do with my grill, again.

[Danny]

Standard ;)

Standard ;)

You think standard, with a badge?

[Danny]

Yes, but thats just my personal choice.... not keen on the smooth at all.... not grilles anyway ;)

[GTPow]

smooth grill

[Danny]

smooth grill

8O Must only be me thinking it looks like a gum shield lol :lol:

i think it must be :P Im still undecided really.

[dave1]

Standard grill

[spooky_fish]

i prefered your old grill

id have to go or the some one.. the badgeless loves like someon has nicked it!!!


oh or go for a george foreman grill ive heard there really good!! lol

or a smooth one with a smaller badge?

[spooky_fish]

or a smooth one with a smaller badge?nice one!!

can just see that being a good (new) look with a discreet badge

Im not going for a badge on a plastic grill at all. The vts badge looks good on the mesh, but i just dont want mesh anymore :P

Thats why i was leaning towards the standard grill without the badge, coz the smooooove one is a bit too plain, perhaps

[spooky_fish]

i like that idea esp on a black car would look silly black on my car... unless i did it silver....??

you car get genuine small stick on badges off ebay search under citreon AX badges

indeed mate or for bx/zx/xantia ect. a few quid max.

[dazzaboi]

Use your REAR Citroen badge on the Smoothed Grille :D

[spooky_fish]

could do... think it leave marks behind when u take it off tho

for £2-3 quid it worth just buying one! (off me! lol)

I want to get the rears taken off . . . And thrown away :wink:

[Carlosjpt]

[bellshillsfinest]

[c2ology]

I don't know tbh both will look kool!

[stathis]

None ! I don't like them! Put a Gt Grill!

[bellshillsfinest]

How do u remove the badge on the original grill ( I fot it was like all solid plastic not had a good look yet :S going too debadge soon ) does it leave too big holes where the pins are ment too b??

[NikkiHell]

where are the best places to buy a new grill from? I fancy a mesh one similar to c2ology's but with more 'square shaped' mesh

[Kirsty]

I'm not a fan of either grill, but if I had to choose I would go for the smooth one.

I just think both look a bit too plain.

[crotchrocket]

Mikey, i dont think you can put either of those grills on. You've got an open meshed grill similar to mine and to fit that grill you have to cut out all of the plastic where the original grill fixes on too. Both the grills your looking at look like they use the OEM clip holes etc so there's no where for them to fix onto the bumper anymore. Also your grill will have a lip around the edge that is 'glued' to the front bumper. So your grill is efectively bigger than the two your looking at so when you take it off theres gonna be about a 5-10mm patch of glue and knackered paint all the way around the hole. I think youd be best to stay put with your grill. It might cost a bit more than you think to change it with the cost of re-spraying and blending in new paint to old around the edge of the grills hole where you've changed it to a smaller one.

Hope that kind amade sense. (i think i'm right :D )

Lots of stuff to put in this post: this is how its done see :wink: no multiple posts :P

Crotchrocket, you're right. Which is why I have a new top half of the bumper.



hey..what r u gonna do with tyour old gril?? i would like to take it of ur hands if the price is right that is...

cheers

Ill probably be selling my old top half of my bumper. That way you don't have to pay for someone to fit it, or even spray it if you have a black car.

this is what is behind the badge:

You have to get thos lumps cut out, and fibreglassed up... not easy unless you have experience doing it


Everyone else: Plain is the name of the game. Ill be getting the rear badges removed at the same time, as long as i can afford it :D

Shouldn't be hard to do you need some bodyfiller to fill the gap. then sand it flat/smooth.
