Hi there before anyone says anything yes I did use the search option and I couldnt find the answer. Will the FR grills (honeycomb) fit the preface lift ibiza fine, with the FR grill fog light covers, just Iv noticed the fr seemss to have that plastic bit intersepting the main grill and the fog light covers, just im ordering my fog light covers once I get the fog light fitted and Iv alread put the main fr grill on, just hoping it will fit fine. Thanks in advance lads :D

mmmm. not sure TBH mate it should do, the gap is a vent for the SMIC on the drivers side that sits just behind the fog light itself,

I think it probably will just want confirmation, I mean the grills are only £10 so its worth a go even if I dont get an aswer but, would be nice to know that they will fit put my mind 2 rest, sure some people have done this, let me know guys :D

Maybe this will help - this is a 1400 Sport and I changed the grills to the honeycomb type.

For the section below the number plate you will need all 3 pieces (left and right foglight cover and centre section) as they are a different shape to the original 'slat' grill.

Can the 3 bottom grills be fitted without removing the front bumper? (The ones under the number plate)

yep flat screw driver and lift from the cornors very easy once bumper is off just a bit of hassel to get bumper off but probably the best solution.
