Is it really that noticeable in the flesh? Are there any issues swapping them from the standard fog light grilles on the 147?

I don't think so. If you look for the gap (and me being a perfectionist) yes you can see it. But no nobody would notice that wasn't looking for it. They need minor modification to file off some clips but no visual changes so painting the front won't be a problem.

Thanks for the comments gents.

Thanks MJT! I received the R Line Fog Light Grilles and I attempted to line the top clips but they are about 3-4cms out for each slot in the front bar. The other clips on the grilles seem to pretty much line up however the top clips (where the original faux chrome top is located on the standard fog light grilles) are out by quite a margin. Can you please advise what you did modification wise to achieve what you have done? I dont want to break the clips off however I need to be able to have something left on the grilles in order to clip the top section is. If you could let me know, that'd be great, otherwise I will have to sell them.

All the clips get used except the very top strip (the ones that dont line up). I filed those off as the rest of the clips hold the grill in sufficiently firm that the top clips arent needed.

Hope that helps
