Mk3 Bonnet Locks Need Advice

[mondeozetec18]

I'm on the go to be fitting a pre facelift front to my facelift but the lock I've notice sticks out and it's stopping me from fitting the grill. I have two options I could make the hole bigger on the grill? Or I could go and fit a preface lift lock but!! Will the lock fit?? Need abit of advice cheers guy's.

HI James firstly why are you putting a prefacelift grille onto a facelift car? Any way yes it will fit the barrel is just longer, but i wouldnt bother im sure you can just enlarge the key hole on the grille to allow the lock to protrude through if done neatly it should look ok as the badge will hide it most of the time anyway. But double check the measurements that the lock will still cover the hole once all reassembled
