how tricky was it to fit? i think if i get an 850 some day it'd be essential... as well as maybe a 300 :)

Damn... I am impressed, I really like the look of that car! I've seen people modify grilles before, but that suits your car perfectly. Nice job!

I must also say that I am very impressed! That is an incredibly, tidy, well kept and unique car. Some very nice touches there.

Hi yeh when the car was purchased it had front end accident damage so the idea of putting a front panel from a 360 arose! Thus giving me the front fogs!

Awww, not like my ghetto cutting the fog light holes out with a jigsaw then! Does indeed look smart, redline bumpers to go with the interior (or vice versa) is very nice.
