Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok, I had to remove my grille over the weekend to pull out the radiator for cleaning. In the process, I managed to break a couple of the retaining clips.

Question is, has anybody fitted a different grille to their vehicle? I quite like the look of the older F300 grilles and square headlights. I'm really not a fan of the newer Feaux-chrome carp on the later models.

I presume I'll probably have to change the headlights too, as the older ones seem to be squarer than mine.

This is similar to the style of grille I have currently, except mine has even more feaux-chrome





This is the style of grille I want to replace mine with:

F300 lamp inserts are also a damm sight cheaper as well......

But I think the radiator support panel is different between th F300 & F310 but I could be imagining it.

As most of the square replacement lamps are all metal larger inserts are easy to fit without melting the reflector - but as always watch the looms capacity.

Also many have a small hole for a park bulb - that works well to let the mud in ( but not out for some reason.... ) Tape and silicone will fix

dont know about changing the grille but mine has broken every single clip on it as well, so has my mates ... so has another guy i know with a Feroza oh and every single toyota surf/4runner grill (they use the same clips ) ive seen have at least one clip broken.. and funny enough the two top clips on my wifes 2004 terios are broken as well .... zip ties hold my grille on no problem

The clips are cheap to buy and are the same as used on Charades etc so try the wreckers as well.

I don't like you chances of doing the grill swap as there are a lot of metal changes behind the grill as well.

Thanks for the replies guys. Having a bit of a look around, some F310s have a similar grille to the F300, so I'm hoping I can source one of those at least. The big thing for me will be to ditch the crappy fake chrome. Mine was already held on with a couple of cable ties, but clips can always be found if needed.
