My head is about 2 sizes bigger after this morning.

I was waiting in Wickes car park (hardware store) for my collection notification to come through and I had a tap on the door, a mid 30's woman said she thought my car was beautiful and amazing, and the husband shouted the same, the most bizarre thing I have ever experienced with a car, ngl I could get used to that

Yeah, according to a friend, car parks are renowned places for dogging when stores are closed

Zunsport grilles fitted, I havent got the Cooling package so didnt realise i would have no oil rads behind the grills so it turns out these are a bit pointless now but at least it stops crap getting in there and looks cool

How are the grills secured, wasn't clear from the website, are there clips that grip existing trim or is there a retaining bar or something behind?

Terrific, thanks. You think they'd come off without marking?

you have to pop a thin screwdriver through the grille to lift the hooks up then pull out, so if very careful i think so yeah, but i suppose theres always a chance,

perhaps putting some ppf over the slats to protect them wouldnt be a bad idea and couldnt be seen, you could do it yourself too so would be a cheap solution
