    i think the one i got was meant for a cab, it seems to have different fittings to what i need, but the quality seems pretty good.

    I got one off ebay have'nt a clue what make it is but when i got it it was for a cab, so i just chopped the mounts from the bottom corners off and just fitted it. It doesn't fit flush in the corners though, but i have noticed this with alot of 5 slat grilles, so i don't know if this is the same for all debadged mk1 grilles. [:s]

    instead of the screw holes at the bottom corners the cab grilles have clips, all you need to do is get a hacksaw and cut the clips off. the corners will stick out a little but you just have to live with it. [8(]
    its not that noticeable really.

    does it sound any good? My mum had a full magnex on her S*xo and it sounded pretty guff. Could have been the fact it was a french car though. [xx(]
