How easy are these to fit?:
Slatted Grille
What I mean is, do I have to remove the bumper to do it?
And does anybody know if these are a good fitment, and if they are well made? And what is the difference between these and the irmscher grilles?
Thanks

I fitted mine lastnight.
It's very easy, and you don't have to remove the bumper. Theres not a lot of space to manouver though!
Pull the top of the standard one towards you, and then tap the bottom to get the clips out.

As above, no need to remove bumper. I did remove two of the fastenings that hold on the bumper around the grill area just to give a bit more room to work with. I found you have to be quite forceful with them but they do clip in!

yea, it is at the moment, but don't worry, I have a 98 1.6 sport on the drive at home, which I will swap for when I get home from uni on Tuesday! Was yours the same one?

I got mine from supernovas. They are FK grills. The one LMF sell is probably an FK one too. IIRC supernovas are cheaper than £29.95 so I'd advise to try there site!
