So really happy with my new toys, new grills look classy (despite my filthy car :oops: ) and seem to fit better than the originals :o can’t beleive the difference the ZHP knob has made, feels amazing and no rattles - happy boy, thanks to my lovely wife :D

Well the grilles have sparked some debate! :lol:

But I think we're all agreed on the ZHP being a huge improvement.
