Fitting a MY12 grill to pre 09

I've been playing with the idea of attempting to fit a MY12 grill to my 2007.

I've picked up a reasonably priced MY12 grill and initially it looks pretty good.

For a perfect fit I think you could use a standard grill (non SC) L&R sides and bond them somehow?

Any advice on bonding plastic and a donor standard grill would be much appreciated!

I'll post some pics tomorrow hopefully! TDV8 3.6 OVERFINCH 57

Isn't he MY12 grill taller than the pre-09?

I would have thought the fit was way out?

It's not too far off to be honest. The hight is very similar I think the headlights are smaller on MY10+. I'll try and get a pic up later. It's the sides that are out a little but I think this could be over come by using non SC grill sides. TDV8 3.6 OVERFINCH 57

All the grills are the same height from 02-12my, the outside edges of the bumper gets higher and its the headlights that get smaller and smaller...

The 2010> grilles recline towards the top (i.e. the bottom edge sits further forward).

Craig im certain a man of your talent could mod the grill to fit ? I'm sure if you did there would be quite a few takers ! Thumbs Up Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

Erm not too sure how to load pics? If anyone can help?

Just fitted the grill back on and I think it's going to need some more tweaking. I've ordered a non SC grill so I'll post an update once I have them both together! TDV8 3.6 OVERFINCH 57
