Has anyone fitted Zunsport grilles to their GTS?

If so any thoughts on quality, ease of fitting, appearance?

Any photos would be great too as the ones on the Zunsport website aren't very good.

I've done a bit of searching and there seem to be some mixed feelings about them, and especially the quality/ease of fixing them, and how they contour to the bumper. My car has front parking sensors also if that makes a difference. Also if there are any other suppliers anyone has had good experience with.

I've not done much mileage so far but the radiators are already starting to pick up a lot of impact damage. This is the main driver for fitting them, but I also much prefer the mesh look to the big openings, especially on the outer radiators.

Not normally into cosmetic mods, but pretty tempted to give these a try, any feedback appreciated...

I've been wondering about the same thing for when mine arrives.

There are differing sets for cars with, and without, sensors.

I'd have a nosy at some of the US discussion forums around fitting etc.

They are Zun Sport grills, loads of info over on planet 9 forum along with a 10% discount voucher, the search function is your friend.

Thanks, these photos look like the fit is pretty dam good, although maybe the mesh holes look slightly bigger than I would have expected. Cant quite figure out how they are secured.

Think I'm going to send for a set and give it a try.

Really interested to hear how you fitted the front bumper lowers. I bought a full kit and have managed to fit the front centre and the side vents but cannot fit the font lowers. I've contacted Zunsport who offered a refund or a fitting service. Only problem is there in the midlands and I'm in Norfolk. The research i've done says the front lowers sit at an angle left to right and top to bottom (if that makes any sense) Why they used a different fitting method just for this part is beyond me.

Its just a case getting them lined up, you go in with your hands over the top and make sure the clips at the ends press tightly against the inner plastic trim. Takes a bit of fiddling but they will go in and then you can just push fit in the top grills, I have not suffered from stones smashing the central radiator core and leaves do not collect in the side vents happy days.

Hi Giby, I'm in Norfolk too and just ordering a set for my CGTS this week. If you fancy pooling efforts message me and perhaps we can help each other sort the fitting out?

I've got a set for my CGTS but am hopeless with this sort of thing. Would love to join in with a masterclass ;-))

I'm in north ESSEX so it would be a great excuse for a nice drive and I'd buy the bacon rolls, what do you think??

How much (if any) do they charge for fitment at their premises in Cannock?

That's an even more interesting idea. A GTS convoy ;-))))

A group buy on the fitting charge??
