Chrome Grill Kit


M13KYF

Recommended Posts

As well as washing and waxing the car today. I finally got round to applying the Chrome Kit (Halfords 9.99) to the grill.

 

Some of you have already done this but for the benefit of those that haven't and wish to know what it looks like, I've taken some pics.

looks really cool :thumbs: , no probs with fitting ? did you have to use adhesive ?

 

Comes with a 3M sticky back. Just need tom use a hair dryer (I used the misses cos I've got no hair) :scare: to warm the chrome strip up to make it more pliable for the acute bends. Took 20 mins in all. :D

 

Also you use a hole pack to do the horizontal bars. If you wanted to do the verticsal bits inbetween you would need another pack.

 

Halfords do two different widths. Use the wider one. 7.5mm I think. Its made by HR Auto Comfort and its 3 metres by 7.00mm.

 

Stay clear of the other stuff which they sell. Japanese instructions only :headhurt:

Now then, about this chrome grill look....

 

Ive just been to halfords, and found not one, not two, but four, yes four, different chrome trim kits.

 

Anyone still got the packaging? Which one is it? There are twotypes that are 3 metres long, and two types that are 4 metres long, different widths etc...

 

So, can someone please enlighten me?
