Yep , you'll need the Titan splitter and Titan Fog surrounds now as that what i had to do when i changed my front grill too , have fun trying to get the splitter bar off the fog surrounds are easy to get off about 2 mins each side
. found this out the hard way when i took one of mine off ====================================

Well, if you are looking for opinions, in my opinion photo 1 looks better. The chrome stands out far too much in photo 2 and I am not a chrome fan. I think the pattern of the grill on photo 1 is better than the flat look on photo 2.

Thanks for the honest opinions I agree with you all I'm not a Crome fan at all and I do prefer the contour of my original grill but I think the surround looks dull on the original. Ill leave it on for a while and see how I feel. I think if I'm honest with myself I'm just a bit bored of how it looks and want to make a couple of changes without getting anything that's not OEM or not right for the year of the vehicle. 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

Think I prefer picture 1, but perhaps the chrome won't look so stand outish if the sun is not directly on it, and its not all shiny and new, if you see what I mean.......

If like me Jez after a week or so with the AB grill 2nd picture I got bored with it and changed it for a different one , the AB grill takes a bit to get used to on a car that doesn't have the full AB bumper ====================================

Why not take the original grille to a bodyshop and get them to spray the surround in bournville....

I'm in support of pic1. AB grille looks slab like and also not a chrome fan.

Looks like the old grill is slightly more popular luckily they take about two mins to swap ! I think Craig is right and it might look a bit better on a clean car (would you believe I clayed, machine polished and waxed that car two weeks ago !) and thanks for thinking of me mjdronfield that was a kind offer 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB
