I've always preferred the newer shape grill to the style with the slats on the new shape vans. I finally found one on eBay and I think it makes a tidy little update

Re: facelift for a facelift
Must admit, I hadn't realised there were different types of new shape grille (other than between bongo & freda), looks good, but you'll have to get a bonnet bra made to match the orientatin of the "checks" now
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.
Re: facelift for a facelift
I really wanted a silver and white bonnet bra but no-one made one
I only have it on during 'road surfacing time' round here, my honda looked like it was shot with a machine gun before it went a couple of months ago, don't want it happening to the van too and this one was a present so it would be impolite not to use it

Nice! So now you have an Aero grille too Scott! Don't they fill the moulded swageline on top of the bumper way better than a standard new shape grille? Look after it though mate...Nearly £400 for a new one! ( I should know)

It does look much better than the old one, also rounds of the front end a little better
Looks like my £32 delivered from ebay was an absolute bargain then

Re: facelift for a facelift
A definite bargain! A grille swap the other way round won't work though (for any "aero" owners out there) A standard new shape grille comes up short on an AERO bumper leaving a 1" gap (trust me... Been there done that)
