Question - Might mean my car is on the road a bit earlier

Post by Bada Bing! » Thu Sep 07, 2006 6:20 pm

The garage has built up the car, and are about to polish it up and hand it over to me tomorrow.

Except when they assembled it they realised, their supplier never sent the front grille, on which the driving lights sit.

Can it be done quickly/easily once the clamshell has been fitted (meaning I can take the car without it tomorrow), or should I wait till monday when the part is in and fitted before getting it back. This will take me into my 6th week (I think) without the car. :(

The plastic grill at the front clips in doesn't it? Should take about 30 secs to fit...

Suprised if they changed it - it's only plastic.


Ed - wasn't it the top grills that needed changing in your (eg the place where the air exits after the radiator)

Exige has bonded in mesh grilles Ed.
111R still the eggbox grille so just clips in?
