no. It unscrews just like a post-97 grill would. Normally you would get the griffin badge recess filled but thats up to you.

my local bodyshop did mine for £35. did the grille myself.

cut the bottom layers off the steiny and trimmed the edges, then moved the badge up a bit, its only held on with screws

Luke: Nope just TLC. It really doesnt look as good in the flesh, the pics seem to make it look a bit better for paint.

808: I think they are a little gay 2 but i wanted somethin puttin there and didnt want SXi so just put them on. Hopefully will have a 16xe or 20xe dropped in within the next 6months so wont look as shite then
