any pics of marea bonnet grille on bravo?

hi guys 2 weeks ago i bought a r-reg 60,000 mile bravo hgt in 483 heraldic met blue,i got it at a fair price as the bonnet was damaged.the bonnet had come up and hit windscreen,bonnet was a right mess and when i tried to open bonnet the bonnet catch was siezed so out came cutting disc.
luckly bonnet hinges were ok so ive sourced a bonnet off a 51 plate marea weekend 20v.the marea grille is different than a brovo one but i do like the shape of the marea one so when i get the new bonnet resprayed im going to have the marea grille done as well or have grille done in satin black
my question is has anybody got any pics of marea grille fitted to bravo please?
ive also fitted the polys off the marea last night,what a improvement in looks alonenow to do the plastic handles i got off same car.
cheers dave

if your going as far as changing the grille and lights, just an idea but you could also look into getting a merea conversion front bumper, which would mean changing the front wings too. but it would seriously set your bravo off then

mk1 hgt? front washers? i believe the marea had smaller ones and the wings stuck out more too, i think thats the only difference between those both.

You know, I'm really struggling to see a difference between the marea and bravo bumpers...looks like the marea one has a bit more of a splitter than the bravo but thats about it?

Marea wings are totaly different, they can take a much bigger wheel more happily. Marea and Bravo bumpers dont interchange, the Marea bumper is much shorter to begin with. The HGT basically has a Marea diesel front (TD100 and TD124) with headlamp washers

Consider getting a Bravo grille and blacking it out like I did, personally I think the Marea grille looks horrid and even worse on a Bravo.... As for the door handles, consider the Alfa 147 door handles

Heres one at short notice with badge removed and not colour coded.



However I think the Brava MK2 Chrome Grille is the best grille for the Bravo/a/Marea.
