id get a new bonnet lock on order straight away and send the remaining parts back. Waste of time if they are not going to fit well.
Indeed, not what I wanted after having a really shit drive on Tuesday, got stuck on a closed road, then caused a flood in my Nans kitchen yesterday, the weeks going well so far.
I'm not really sure how the bonnet locks are bought, I doubt they come in one lump, will look into it though they wont be cheap if it's one lump, don't forget it'd need the key barrel to made to my car as well.
Don't think I can send the grills back as they're not actually defective, just don't fit lol.

Looks good, make the grill fit.
It'd also look much nicer with the bonnet strip wrapped in black IMO.
Plates were £27 off ebay. Not sure they're worth that but they do look good tbh. I got carried away on ebay if you hadn't guessed lol...
I like the chrome strips on the bonnet and boot, everyone wraps them black on modded Focii and I really don't like it. I'd actually been putting off getting the lower honeycomb grill as they don't do one with the chrome outline like the Titanium grills, wish I'd kept putting it off now lol.
Can't make the top grill fit without cutting lumps off it or the bumper, even then it's literally millimetres between the lock working and collapsing so may still not work, and the badge doesn't sit right which already annoys me so won't be fitting them. They did look cool on the ebay ad, and one of the guys on FOC has a set which look ok in pics, but I guess the quality control just isn't great.
