Not seen that style grill before, but really like them much better than the usual style, even better as a pair :D

Wierd that came off as looks like it has few fixing points. Best of luck with getting a replacement.

Maybe some jakeball keeps nicking bits off your car?

Are the screws still in the bumper as there is 2 screws holding this grill in.

It's the newer aera type grill.

They look way bigger than the standard BTCC bumper kit. There was some pictures a while ago of something like these.

They look like they'd be good for using to direct air flow to the brakes. ;)

The difference is that the original OE BTCC was not as wide open as these appear to be.

They also may not be the work of Newey, but when people see a good thing they use it. :funk:

Not yet mate! I decided to run away to dubai so needed the money and just parked her up in my drive. Now that im back im on the case! Going to get adamm to run some logs for me! See whats going on!

On the grill note, behind where the grill should be ther is a washer tank lol so the air feed for brakes probs wont happen!

I much prefer my grills with the honeycomb compared to the ones with the slats!
