no nothing done to the grilles as you can see the top set are still standard as i thought it makes it a bit diff so i prefer it...

gotta say imperial panels are not a great fit took a hell of a lot to get it right. but im very happy to have it on!

im tempted by fibreglass skirts as they are sooo much cheaper and unlikely to get stone chips!

Mine came black with a silver fleck so I painted them satin black.

Fiberglass side skirts dont have jacking covers or the lip on back to use the proper clips.

arrr.... i see jacking points would be a problem...

however i have a 2000 reg and i think the early models dont have the clips anyway so i would have to bond them on either way.

could i cut grooves for the jacking points?

Mine didnt have the studs for the clips either so I stuck them on.....what I mean is the fiberglass skirts I looked at didnt even have the lip on the back to fix onto the clips.

You wouldn't be able to cut grooves for the jacking points IMO.

How much are the fibreglass ones? £60-70?

I think genuine ones work out about £200 for the 2 with 4 jacking point covers and all the clips.....atleast you know these will fit/look smart and need no extra work

well i guess it makes sense but im a student and 70 quid seems so much more appealing!

i will see how funds come along!

may leave it for a bit and stick with small mods, aero wipers, fabia wipers or de-wiper, aerial from honda
