Title: After-market F/L grilles - any recommendations?
Post by tonyyeb on 23. Mar 2011 at 19:29

I've had a root around on the net for these, as the 'V' in which the Griffin sits is de-laminating on mine. I'm going to get the car repainted this year, and when I do, I'll change the grille too.
Any recommendations? I'm not about to pay a kings ransom for an Irmscher; just want something tidy that fits well....

In that case I would simply get another VX one out of a breakers or off eBay thats hopefully in better condition.

Some of the after market grills look pretty hideous and I must admit I've never been that keen on the Irmcher one either. You could always be a rebel and go for an Opel or Cadillac one :)

You could keep the grille but have it sprayed, body colour? Black?
