want to put a new grill on the gem. mine is the TE grill with the big lion symbol and gemini badge.i want to put a later model grill on it so i can debadge it. the one with the little square red badge. i was told that these grills come as the complete package of headlight surrounds and chrome stripping. has anyone done this and what do you do to get it to fit? will the headlight surrounds on my current setup just pop out to allow the new grill to clip in sorrounds and all?
cheers |

i can answer that for you...coz thats what my car has on it.
i got a new TE grill and with a hacksaw blade cut off the head light surrounds fits on the same way but youll have to make a small bracket on each end of the chrome strip to hold it to the gaurd coz the clip gets cut in half |
