How the funk do you fit these things.

Mine came today, and looks like it hasn't been finished.

The shape of the grille has been pressed out, but there is a flange around the whole grille about an inch wide on both sides (inner and outer)

It came with no instructions, not even anything in German, but more worrying, a 4" grinder disc

Is this the Krouts getting there own back for Top Gear (not you Sabine), or am I missing something.

I'll post some pics tomorrow.

NUTS!

Dremel time then our si.
I'll post if it comes thurs and some pics. Ave it time!

As a diy kit, this is very hard to achieve a perfect factory look if your not in simbiance with a grinding wheel.

So far, it's took best part of 3 hours to grind out the unwanted metal as in the downloaded pdf. I used a diamond stone on a dremmel and even with this, i've buggered three chucks up and two adpters for the cutting discs through excessive heat. The heat is a pain as it tarnishes the stainless badly and the sticky is a bugger for smouldering and sticking even further.

Once cut out, the clips they supply are intended to be liquid steel'd in ready for you to screw on. Epoxy was the first choice, but a local motor factor pointed out that the epoxy bond will break after a while.

Liquid Steel is about £4.50 + vat.

When it's glued up, i'll post a pic. #

On a plus note, if you are not 100% on the cutting, err for leaving a tad too much metal on as you can file it off, and you dont see your poor cutting skills once on.

Be good to see it finished JD.

I dont think I can be arsed to tackle mine now, so it'll probably find it's way onto evil bay.

Here we go.
