Finally added the sports grille (colour coded) and the exhaust garnish (which is huge in real life!).

No more modding - car is now just the way I had envisioned it.

Enjoy

Bigger tires DK, bigger tires.......

Ha!!!

Absolutely no point here sir. Roads would trash them in no time at all. Plus there is the expense to consider as well - we dont get good value for money on bigger rims/tyres here sadly.

Nice, Ive been wanting to change the grill. Where did you get the grill?

 

[TheDarkKnight]

I bought the grille off ebay just before Christmas.

It was silver but had it colour-coded.

Ah nice, was wondering about that. I've had it on my list to buy but funds have been put towards nursery and more important things. Easy to install? did you have to take the whole front bumper off?

The grill is nice! I have wanted to go with one, but even the ebay knock offs are to much$$ for what it is.

Dealer fitted it for me as part of my first service on the car. I believe its just a few bolts on the top, no need for bumper to come off. I have the stock grille too - might try and colour code that myself - cant imagine anyone would want to buy it.

Surprisingly, this is the one CRV part which is reasonably priced here in the UK!

One downside to this new grille is that it seems to be a magnet for insect corpses!

Thankfully, its easy enough to clean!

Beauty, I love it!

Thanks for the kind words @DanScarps

I like the grille. How hard was it to install? Any tips?

It was a dealer fit, I didnt do it. It was being resprayed for me and was fitted as part of my first annual service. Suspect its just a couple of bolts on the top of the slam panel and some push-fit tabs to be honest. Doesnt look much more complex than that
