I was gonna do a 'HowTo' but its so simple, it hardly seemed worth it 
I had to spray the bonnet release handle that you pull out black, as it was grey and you could see it slightly ....
Quality is not quite OEM, but its not bad, have to see how it fares over the next year or so ....
Very pleased ....

No offence, but I think the 'Facelift' makes it look too much like a 'C' class.
What you reckon Howard?

Have thought about the facelift bonnet etc ...
Apparently you need facelift lights as well....
Have looked at a couple of facelift bonnets , but the cost of having them painted is a bit beyond me at the mo.....
If i found a facelift bonnet in Arctic white , and a set of lights cheap i might have a go .... but TBH i quite like it now as it is ...
If you are going to facelift it , you should go the whole hog, and that means boot inserts etc ... starts to get expensive ...

Wont affect you, its only applicable to coupes and saloons....
Basically its a filler panel that fits in the boot panel , and brings it out flush ...instead of having a inset bit where the number plate goes ....

Thanks for the grille comment, it really updates the look of the car without looking silly, as some grille mods can
