Hi all,

Noticed something on my grille surround today (chrome part, mk2 Focus). Took a closer look and it seems someone has tried to drill a hole, almost dead centre below the Ford badge. Not sure why, surely too low to affect the bonnet lock etc. No other damage on the car! post-41311-0-64291700-1427304540_thumb.jpost-41311-0-31142500-1427304572_thumb.j

    I'm not sure the chrome part separates from the rest of the grille, bonnet lock etc wasn't touched. I'm baffled - if it was kids farting about with a drill I'd have thought there would be more damage!

    It's annoying to look at... Time to check ebay!
