Hi, I was thinking of this also. I take it that the screw holes are the same and how did you fix the indicator lens caps back in. my grill seems to be one piece so I would need some rubber seals or some kind of back plate I would imagine??? any advice... Cheers Paul

The grille is 3 pieces Paul - the centre section and two indicator surrounds. You need to remove the indicator lenses before you can take the surrounds out, then the grille. When you do it's a good idea to fit a rubber grommet around the indicator base as they are now just riveted to the body and it's a point of water ingress. If you choose to not refit the plastic surrounds that membrane is vital as you're leaving that area more exposed.
Plus yes the fitting holes for the grilles is the same whether new or old.
