Black grill and ACS door pins fitted

[schnitzer28]

It was time I changed my stock chrome grill to a black one.Also found some AC Schnitzer door pins really cheap and ordered a set of those.

Guys, when you order a grill make sure the one on the passenger side has a cutout to allow for bonnet hook to come all the way up to unlatch the bonnet.if not then you have to cut it out on your own.
If you notice the stock one,it does have the cutout.
managed to break one clip in the process but in general all went well.

Now for the ACS pins.I had to take out the door panels for this one since I tried to pull the pins out but they wouldnt budge.Didnt want to break the locking mechanism by pulling harder so I had to remove the panels.
In general all went well.
Here are some pictures and let me know what you guys think.
Black grill or chrome?

Got my black grills last Friday from ebay, seller mili-motorsports. Cost was £30.00 delivered. They didn't have a cutout and I found it the hard way when I popped the hood and the grill popped with it. Had to make a cutout 6-7mm deep and 15mm wide to make space for the hood release lever.

Fitment is perfect, as OEM, quality is perfect too.

I got mine from Teddy and didnt have to cut out anything for the hood latch.

do the ACS dorr pins fit flush liek the oem ones when you lock the car or do they stick out?

Dont remember exactly how much I paid for mine but roughly the same if I recall correctly.

No they dont actually.They stick about 5mm above the hole.
I dont really mind to be honest.
I could always cut them so they do sit lower but I couldnt be bothered.Not for such a small problem.
