Some of you will remember that I had a little crash about a week ago.

Well.....

The V- Grille was only balancing on, I had some time on my hands today, so i decided to try sort it out. The bracket has snapped, but I discovered something behind the Grille.......









How much will this cost to repair?

I'm sure they are bolted to the front of the chassis rails that run through the engine.

Not sure on the prices, sod all from a scrappy i'd imagine......think the bolts are a bugger to get out........might have a square head, cant remember.

there 13mm bolts or so, standard...

2 bolts hold the bar onto the mounts, and there then bolted/slipped onto the front of the chassis where the lower part of the slam panel is.

really are easy to undo!

Held in with 4 13mm bolts, take about 4 minutes to get off including the bumper, if you've done the bumper before.

Scrappy won't want much.

I threw one away IIRC.
