That is not what he is talking about, that is just a standard 1 litre grille, it wont bolt into a coily front clip.

You'll find you need maruti headlight surrounds rather then 1ltr to go with the grill if your looking to use your 1.3 gaurds

A little off topic but going by the above you can not bolt a Maruti 1 L grill to a set of NT 1.3 guards?? I thought you could??

Yes you can

The front grill section clip is braised in though. So its not a simple bolt in swap, Unlike a whole front end.

No the front section is not braised in, it is bolted in with some factory white seam sealer and can be removed. The only problem with fitting a 1 litre grille panel to WT guards is that guards comprise of an inner, an outer and the headlight panel, the 1 litre guards have 4 small rectangular cut outs on the headlight panel where the 1 litre headlight surround clips in, the WT does not. So you have 2 options, use 1 litre guards and convert them to WT or carefully cut the 4 rectangular holes in each headlight panel

All this however is off topic because the original post is about the factory/aftermarket coily front which is released somewhere in the world with something very similar to a 1 litre grille.

By the way here is an aftermarket grille that is a direct swap for a 1300 NT or WT grille to give it that 1 litre look.
