I am sick and tired of having to undo the phillips head screws to remove the grill to access the electrics. I have seen, on this site, on the front of members cars 2 rather large bolts that hole the grill in place, are these home made or are they a proper mini part, if so, where can I get a set to fit to my car.

They are a fantastic idea. It makes it so easy to pinch someones grille

I have a set brand new, awaiting fitment to the car. There's no point putting them on yet though, until I sort out what I'm doing with the spotlight mounts.. what's the point of a quick-release grille when it takes 5 mins to unbolt the lights?

Best thing I ever did as Chong and Morris have said.
I got mine from the Uk off Ebay and also have another set for the Van
I also have a Pulsar dizzy and it still fits.
Its one of those... little mods that makes it..that much easier
Just like the wing bolts ontop of the rockercover

If you prefer something a little less obvious than a couple of big knurled knobs sticking out of the grill, try a pair of discrete Dzus fasteners between the slats. They can't be seen unless you get down on your knees to look under the slats and they are just as fast and easy to use.
