      Full set for me also.

      Will it be a bitch to install? Should be able to do it myself, but I'm not very patient and easily frustrated

      Do you have to remove the front bar?

          i installed mine without removing the front bar. the sides left and right grills just pop out. the middle i just cut in a few places using garden snips, then pulled it out. its not like i was going to use the old one again.

            Got any pics?

                For those that have installed the kit, with the drivers side front section, the original had a duct that goes into the smic that doesn't clip onto the new honeycomb part. Is anyone still using that duct? If not, will it be a problem getting air into the smic? Are there anything down there that needs protection of the duct from stones/water? I have been running the car for about a month now without it, and it seems okay, but just curious.

                  the duct is only there to deflect air the the side mount intercooler. i seriously doubt that removing it would have a negative affect. and no, I'm not using it.

                        If any of you guys are upgrading your foglight surrounds, and need to find a home for the old ones - send me a PM. Depending on how difficult it is to find and fit foglights I might be in the market for a pair of stock grills.

                        Cheers,

                            Hi guys. Adam would be me.

                            I organised with the company in china, Below is the link for them. It is abit of a hassle organising things with the company beause the guy speaks only chinese, and i can only just read to save my life.



                            This is their msn: zhonggb@163.net

                            I can organise another buy for those who wants it. However, I'll be starting my new job in a week, so I will be pretty busy with training and things, and won't be on as much. If you guys are cool with the possibility of abit of delay, then I can do another buy. Register your interest below this, and i'll get back to you the cost and the possible time.

                            However, please take note... I can't promise anything at the moment, as this new job is my big break in the industry I am in. so i need to pull my weights around. =)

                            Adam
