ah - alls well that ends well then ;)

i think the grill is a little cracked and may need a BRABUS one!! haha!!

but be careful, the repair people may get the bare one and spray it. may not be as good. suggest they get second hand part as i think its coloured plastic

The genuine Brab one is over £140 now...and is in 3 parts.
The FK replica is a one piece jobbie.
I have one on my car.....and it is dam good......cost me £35 when I bought it a few years back.
other members on here have bought and fitted them.
