Attempting mine at the moment ...with various degrees of disaster


Any guides to get these out along with the metal vents to the side would be much appreciated. I too want to clean up mine rather than pay for new parts. Cheers :)

The front is held in by 10-12 screws which are hidden under the rubber grille seal,you can access by holding rubber back

I've got one vertical slat 75% missing, 4 tabs completely snapped off, another two tabs partly broken, two chunks missing from the outer edge, 2 previously repaired cracks one of which has re-cracked, one new crack and glue liberally covering every tab that attaches the chrome. Is it worth attempting a repair, or is £413 delivered for a brand new replacement from Scuderia going to be a better bet in the long run?

Surely a new one is a no brainer given the condition of the one you have.

Or pay 800+ from ebay for a modena one. Get it bought!

There have been a number of refurbs posted on here where the owners has prepped primed and painted the finished item but I wonder just how hard wearing that will be and how longer before road rash takes over.
