MX5 Front Grille

[pita]

Just ordered one of these from MX5parts (on special offer!)

Realistically how easy are they to fit bearing in mind I'm a (reasonably) competent female? Any hints, tips?

Cheers

Undo two bolts, put the grille in the hole and tighten bolts back up!

Make sure you have the correct size spanner to undo the bolts and do it in the day so as you can see what you are doing. Be aware that you may well have to sit/lie on the ground so don't go out to do it wearing you best clothes!

iirc it took my 5 minutes and a slightly skinned knuckle to fit mine...

Oh ok didn't realise it would be quite that easy.......

Also if you do a lot of high speed motorway miles keep an eye on the engine temp... Some people have found that adding a grill shows up their clogged radiator and it overheats. If your rad is in good condition you shouldn't have this problem.

Dammit does that mean I can't wear my stillettos and I might break a nail

Sorry if it seemed a daft question.......
