I find it almost impossible to imagine that someone would install a
WBX, but not cut a hole for a lower grill.

Could you imagine what the quality of the rest of the install would be
like if they did?

Or maybe the rad is on the back hatch!

Hinky I say's.

That image of the engine is fuzzy and just looks like it doesn't
belong with the rest of them.

Neil.
