Good job on the bumper.

You planning on spraying the grill black? Looks kind of odd with the grey grill and black bumpers.

Lights will be ok... I cheated with mine and have the inner bulb wired up as an indicator.

But ditch the novadose grill and get a mk1 gte grill... Pretty please :)

gte grill wont fit coz the lights are so wide

I had a 1.2 mk1 years ago with a novadose grill and that had standard headlights fitted. So The grill can't be smaller than a standard grill.

Bubba
15-04-09, 06:45 PM
about 2 inches either side , although thats jsut me holding them up to the existing lights

chimp007_uk
15-04-09, 06:47 PM
I think they should be direct swap. I know the novadose grill is the same size a standard grill so they wouldn't fit with the novadose grill if they were bigger.

Lights yes grill no, IMO the grill already one looks amazing

Bubba
15-04-09, 07:05 PM
ill see if the light fit with that grill, only problem is one of the clips is broken so its ziptied on one side

i agree with all about the bumper looking sweet,but the novadose grill your thinking about putting on,imo its a no-no and will spoil the front end(if the lights are too wide!,modify a gte type grill or just keep the one youve got.:)
