Stuart, it's a standard grille (one I bought cheap as it was broken) that I then customized , I shall post pics up if anyone is interested
I kept the old one just in case it looked crap so I could change them back again

Today i finally fitted the new spare wheel carrier so i now got a spare on the truck again.
I also sorted the brake problem i had where it felt like it was locking on the n/s and pulling the truck.Well as a new mod this has to be a big big donkey moment.When i did my camber shims the other week i never tightened the new bolts up enough and every time i cornered hard or went over the slightest bump there was a really big clonking noise.So after fitting new bolts today the noise has gone and the brakes are now back to normal

Is it worth jet washing the engine too?

Gave it a few heats, no start. Poured some hot water over the diesel lines, fired straight up. Now topped up with diesel.
