seen this on ebay and wondered if it would fit?
I know the listing says so, but i dont trust em half the time.

And if it does fit, anyone else got one and do they look ok?

thanks

just to embellish on this,
I did email the guy and he reckons it fits, but reading it again, the listing says 99>03
so i'm not so sure.

thanks

The listing says 99 to 03 so I would say its for a facelift which yours isn't, so no

It will fit but look shit

if its the one in the pic then it will fit. facelift go in the bonnet.

Yes re -read the ad, it wont fit, so no need to worry about it looking like you have chopped up a fireguard and stuck it where the grill should be

Ultimately, anything will fit anything!   

To me, thats a facelift for fitting into the bonnet recess, not a prefacelift that stays with the grille.

[o-meg-a]

well that caused more disagreement than i thought.

Can i just get one thing clear though.
I'm not stoopid.
I can read.
My point in asking about this was because it LOOKS like it will fit,
It SAYS that it's for a 99>03
BUT the SELLER reckoned it would fit a 97 like mine....

I dont need people to say....."read the listing, says its not for the car (eg, dont ask stupid questions)"
That's not helpful really. 

 was looking for clarity where none was provided in the listing and from the seller.

thanks for having a go though guys

personally i would say go with it doesn't fit and thank the stars as it looks shite!!! get a irmscher or steinmetz personally i would go with the steinmetz but for 24,99 you could as the previous poster said make one out of chicken mesh cheaper!!

The pre and mini facelift bonnet is different from the facelift.

The former leaves the grille behind, attached to the bumper, whilst the latter lifts the grille with the bonnet.

To my eye, that grille is for the facelift as it is similar to the one fitted to my car.

Whether you could adapt it to fit the pre-facelift is upto yourself.

The OOFers who responded were only attempting to answer your query, be that rightly or wrongly.........

To add, if the seller stated in the listing its for a 99-03 model, then thats a facelift.  For him to say it will also fit a pre/mini facelift, given that he is selling an item and not simply offering informed advice, well, make a choice, I say....

My recollection of the grille on my pre-facelift was that it had a peg at the bottom in the middle that fitted in a grommet in the bumper and two screw fixings at the top.

If the e-bay picture is of the item for sale then I would say it is for pre-facelift (and won't fit a facelift).
