Picking mine up on Saturday and dont wanna waste any time getting some mods sorted. Want to fit a de-badged grill, does anyone know if they make one or if the grill for the previous C fits?
Also, has there been any other changes other than bodywork? i.e will suspension fit ok?
cheers all

I don't think there is an aftermarket grill out for the face-lift model yet.

The only differences are the bumpers and arches, everything is the same.

ello Alan mate
Looks cool Doug, gonna ask at the dealership about the grill when i go in.
What springs are best for the SRi, just want it to drive better...dont want it too low cos there's some mammoth speed bumps near me.

i got mine on november 5th and ordered it 3 months before then. I got the optional tinted rear 3 windows which is meant to add a bit of time but my car arrived a week earlier than sheduled. Not all roads are that bad in aberdeen, just the ones i use to get home from college altho more and more roads seem to be getting speed bumps

Speed bumps should be abolished along with speed camera's! haha. my old car grounded out on the speed bumps near me! not jus the exhaust...the actual floor pans made contact before! not a nice sound.
