Are you sure you've got the right rad guard?
You probably need to bend it a bit before you put it on.
After I did that mine was dead easy to fit.

yes it's fitted,i DID have to put more of a bend in it,it was no way near as curved as the radiator,this cover has two hook's which fit over the lip on the rad,& two bracket's on the bottom,one with a single bolt & the other is a bracket with two allen key bolt's securing it in place.i want to close the two on the top with a pair of plier's,i DONT WANT IT TO COME ADRIFT.

I don't think that's really necessary.
Once it is secure on the bottom it doesn't move so won't come off on top.  :no:

Please see previous thread. I had problems with (dealers) fitting my MK1 Beowulf guard so they swoped it (free) for a modified MK2 as people were having dificulty with original design :sad:
