I'm going to be honest and say that as beautiful as the grill is, i am not feeling it on the car. I feel like the facelift grill doesn't suit the pre-facelift cars.

It might just be the angle of the photo because I don't think pictures do our cars justice when it is taken too close to the front.

This means we need some more pictures, preferably from a bit further back.

I can take more pics from a distance this week for u, I actually like it a lot more from far away cuz the fitment look perfect.

From close-up, the CF weave looks fantastic though. I think the facelifted grill makes our cars fresher with the single bar, too bad it was not a straight replacement & perfect fit.

I would love more pics, I have been wanting to get the facelift grill for a while but I haven't been able to find any pics that persuaded me to do it.

Here are few pics I took this morning for you Charlie... different angles from a distance to show you what our pre-facelift cars look with the facelifted grill. Hope these are the shots you wanted to see, if not let me know I can take some more.

Dome has excellent pics as well, but his grill was chrome & is now black.

I think the grill looks perfect from far away, just not so pleased when looking for close-up. So go for it Charlie if you dont mind the gaps. (shown in the pic below)

Far shots:



Close-up pic of the gap:

Week-end pic I forgot to post:

Looks awesome Meng, I think it looks alot better in those pics.

CF lip, CF grill, black roof, it all flows nicely with the white.

I think you need to wrap or plastidip the fog light housings.

Agree with you Charli, lovely photography and shots. I think Meng also needs to CF his HRE wheels

Hey Meng are the modifications to the front bumper reversible when you install the facelift grill?
By the way how are you feeling the mirrors so far?

Anthony, u don't have to modify the bumper tabs/clips, u only have to enlarge the lower holes of the facelift grill cuz they don't align with the bumper clips.

Make sure u don't enlarge them too much or else the bumper clips won't hold the grill down (which is my case). My Bodyshop is planning to add material to the bumper clips to make it thicker to grab the grill holes & pull it down a bit more.

As for the CF mirrors, they look ok cuz I hardly see my car. Lol

I'm storing my car this week cuz I'm leaving for Thailand for the rest of November. In December, it should be snowing.

Haha have a great holiday. It's amazing seeing you guys have to store your cars for winter or change to winter wheels etc. plus all this salt they put on the ice to rust your cars
Down side our cars cost so much more

Thx Perry, yes I'm going to a tropical country next week. It's about 0C here vs 32C there. Lol

Perry, come visit me in January-February (coldest months of the year).. I will take u skiing.. Snow isn't that bad compared to the heat wave u get in Australia. But yeah, car going in hibernation sucks. Lol

Haha I might just do that one of these days. Even though we have snow about 4 hours drive away, I have never ever seen snow before.

Hope you have a great holiday. You should spend a week in Aust next time and take you to our breath taking coastal views
