Help ordering new front grill please

[bigbob]

Well I've just pulled a pheasant out of my front grill - it did not make it as far as the radiator but went surprisingly far in. Anyway, the grill needs replacing and I'm on the eurospares website wanting to order a new one but I'm not sure which one it is. They seem to call it a 'complete removable calender'. Anyway, my car is a 2005MY with a chrome mesh grill. Which of the three do I need, should I be able to transfer badges from the old grill (badge not hit) and reuse the screws?

The other options is should I have a change? My car is Rosso Mondiale with black mesh in the rear bumpers. Thoughts welcome.

As a supplementary, can you screw them in from the outside just by putting a screwdriver through the mesh to get to the four holes?

Cheers

Yes you can fit it from the outside Bigbob , the latter grills tend to have the tridents fixed in and part of the complete calender, ive only worked on early 4200 s which separate into bits the latter ones dont , neither do the Gransport ones, so i presume yours is completely integral being an 05 car

Cheers. I am presuming that the 'standard' grill is the black bar one, the 'chrome net - vintage' is what I have and the 'black net' is exactly the same as mine but with the net mesh itself in black but the trident and surround in chrome.

Which would you put on my car?

I think this is what I have:

It would appear from the link that the trident is separate on 05MY but everything else is one piece unlike the earlier MY's as you say Loz. I think my trident is okay but the mesh is slightly bent around the middle.

Interestingly this is the same part number as for the GS chrome grill too. Unfortunately the grill is to order rather than stock but there you go.

Also I have the car booked in for a front bumper respray next week. I might have to delay that if I cannot get a new grill during the week.
