Grille, spotlights and bumper removed, luckily there's no damage to the paintwork, a new bumper from Minispares has been ordered, the spotlights won't be going back on.

I received the new bumper from Minispares along with new 5/16 bolts only to discover that the bumper requires M8 bolts so that's a job for tomorrow, I found a reasonable looking grille off e -bay and have been cleaning it up and touching in some marks.

Fellow GT owners how do I establish what way round the grille end headlamp covers go, foolishly I didnt take note when I took them off.

They are handed so should only go on the correct side with the different top and bottom grill profiles.

As Chris says they are sided, it will become obvious once the grille bit is in place

The guy paid me cash based on the quotation , so the matter is now closed :D

 

Next tasks are to get some new front tyres as they have covered about 20,000 miles, and carry out an oil/filter change.
