I have the facelift elegance model and although I like the look of the car as a whole I am undecided about the front grill. Looks alittle chunky to me without the Star in the middle. Sourcing one seems easy to do, I even found an OEM one for £50 that is in good nick.
Question is, are they easy to remove and install or is it something a professional should probably do? Also would it look too much with the Bonnet star still attached rather than a flat star one?

We would need to know what car you have, to help you further.

In my eyes pointed star on the bonnet, and the star on the grill just doesn’t look right.

One or the other for me.

But it’s your car, and your opinion matters more than mine.

Double star really doesn't look good, either the large star in the grill or the (infinitely nicer if you can get it) bomb-site on the top of the ready - I've no opinion on either...:cool:

Did you get the info from OP profile, as on my phone I don’t get any car info from anyone’s profile. I do get this info if I’m on the tablet or laptop.
If you turn your phone sideways you can see the profile details on the left ;)

Completely forgot I posted here, pleasures of ADHD, so thought I would update on what it looked like vs how it looks now. Straight forward to do and it revealed the original grill was broken anyway! To be honest I was ok with either way but the wife likes the new grill as it looks younger. :D

What happens if you turn it upside down? Do you get to see inside the car?

I recently hoovered the inside and dusted so if you do it should be acceptable cleanliness! :cool:
