Badgeless Grill

Hey, ive got a 5 door stilo and i was thininking that the grill would look alot better without the fiat badge on it. is there somewhere i can get a standard looking grill just without the badge on it and as if the badge was never there, u know without the black circle of plastic its stuck onto?

You can DIY:

Or if your not to keen on the DIY front, german ebay sometimes have ones ready to fit

This is who i got mine from http://cgi.ebay.de/KUHLERGRILL-FIAT-STILO-M-TUV_W0QQitemZ250242487271QQihZ015QQcategoryZ68197Q QrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp172 3Q2em118Q2el1247 3days from germany and is ready to fit about £44 when you convert from euros

yeh the DIY looks like something that i would screw up and would then need to buy one anyway.is the one from germany decent, like looks perfect? also you've got a 3 door, are they universal and will it fit a sdr? or are they different sizes?

Standard grille is the same for 3 and 5dr so will fit ok, its a bit delicate where the clips hold it to the car so just be careful when fitting it - you may need to paint over the centre part of the bumper that is normally hidden by the Fiat badge as it will show up through the b/less grille - mine did as its yellow if you do go for the germany ebay just remember to add the correct postage to uk on top of the grille

This is mine

i mite go for the one from germany, just checked the price and with postage it will come to around £62, the exchange rate has gone up a bit lol, thanks for your help

Was going to try for the Mattig one, but the mesh one looked decent too and left the option to maybe add an Abarth badge or something later down the line, so I went for it. Looking forward to putting it on when it arrives

I've got the same one as Fiattech from the same place. It is a genuine Mattig grill as you can get from online stores in uk for £90+. They just import them from Germany anyway.
It is a good grill but the clips can be delicate as mentioned, i secured the upper edges (under bonnet lip) with two small self tappers as i broke a clip.

Yes hmmm i also carried out this 'mod' as well - due to said clip breakage.

sounds like this grill is a pain in the arse to put on, well if i do get one i'll let you know how i get on, will probably need to know how to do the makeshift clip mod though lol

Ive got this one too.
took 5mins to fit.

No its easy to fit, its harder to get the old one off without mashing it. I did mine leaving the bumper on.
Unfortunately you are dealing with plastic, the clips are quite thin so can break as we've described.

Given mine's been on for 5 and a bit years, I'm expecting it'll break at least a bit. Still, it'll be worth it once the new one's on
