Purchased some chrome grill strips from eBay, installed and figured I would post them here to anyone who would like to see.

Adds a touch of class in my opinion and compliments the silver car well, with the 3 tones of colour, silver, chrome and black.

Doesn't look too bad, think the number plate ruins it imo!

An S-Line bumper would look good on it too!

Finding an S-Line bumper in that shade of silver without headlight washers has been a mean task. But really the only noticeable different with the S-Line bumper is a couple of finns sticking out from the fog light grilles and the black valance. Not worth the hassle plastidiping the valance either...

Looks ok to me. I wouldn't fit them on mine but I don't hate them either. I've always gone with the less is more approach...

I would definitely consider plastidip or painting the lower valance - it completely sorts out the SE bumper and gives the front end some aggression.

I very much doubt you will find a S Line bumper with out washer holes as all S Lines came with factory Xenon and have to have washers fitted. Surely you could get the bumper and just glue the covers in place?

Thats what I would do plus if theres ever a Xenon retrofit in the pipeline somewhere you're sorted with the bumper ;)

This was the one real mod I have done to my 2008 Sline not long after I got it new and for less than a tender it was worth it!
