I’m changing my Middle East spec grille to US PPV style one. Just wanted to know what parts from below should I order.

I can't quite tell how the center bar with emblem attaches to the sides of the chrome surround, but if it's all one piece I would say you're best bet is parts 1 through 7. Depending on the condition of bolts and seals you might be able to get away without replacing those but considering their cost, might as well.

I think there is another user or two here with that grill that might chime in.

I'd tend to agree. At least the grill and the surround, but if the emblem attaches to the horizontal chrome bar differently than the US-spec emblem, you'd be stuck waiting for that part to get to you from the US. Of course, ordering the whole kit won't be cheap, but what's your time worth?

Those headlight lenses are really clean and clear! Nice.
