Cheers, Rhys.

I bought an aluminium bar from the tip shop for $1, and bent it into a ¬_ shape. I then drilled holes behind the grill so that you can't see the bolts.

Anyone put them under the bumper either side of the number plate?
Just makes it easier to get the grill off...
Anyone have trouble getting the grill off with them on top of the bumper?

My 6" Spotties attached to the front bumper with straps from the mounting bolts (under the bumper) to under and behind the grill bolted to the front apron. No vibration and I can still get the grill off.

Sorry about the pitch black of it all. Tis dark outside. If you want better photos let me know. And they are straight and level, it's just the angle of the photo.
