Hello,
Anyone know where I can get the US smooth grille from please?
Only one I can find, which I'm not sure if it's the same, is this JOM one on AwesomeGTi

Also, has anyone got a before and after shot of pre-smoothed grille and one of it fitted?

Not sure what ur looking for then. The grille on Awesome comes without emblem de badged so unless ur gonna fill the recess in the bonnet ? the one on eBay is smooth with everything on. Standard grille has a plate holder:bracket hence not smooth

Ohh yhyhhh I get what you're on about now. I was just being dopey lol.
Can you buy magnetic strips to go on the plates, or are they a special type of magnetic plate you have to buy.
I've got the stickers I could use but not sure how strong they are with jet washing etc.

Normal plate fixing stickers from Halfords are fine mine is in my window tho as don't see the point having a smooth grille just to stick a plate to it. However there are a few threads in here where people have used magnets on the plate and behind the grille. I believe you will need high strength ones from Amazon
Check this thread out may be helpful
