Omega Front Grills & EyeLids
19. Apr 2007 at 10:06

Hiya Chaps I Am thinking about changing over my front Grill for a Nice one.

Does anyone have any suggestions on which to go for and where to get them ?

I have seen acouple on Ebay for about 35 pounds Plus P&P.

Also I am In Two Minds about those Eye Lid things. What does everyone think Good Thing Or Bad Thing ?

I know The Boy thinks they are Gay as he put it lol

Apr 2007 at 10:14 Like front grills, but not convinced by the £35 ones, nice irmscher one Eyelids, I hate, think they look crap and cant imagine they help light output either, really dont see the point. Dont want to offend, but just offering an opinion as requested.

This is the one i have seen for £35 and £10 P&P on Ebay I think ill not bother with the Eyelid things i was just curious if anyone had them and what they thought of them. Craig

This is mine with its irmscher grille, I dont know the regular selling price on ebay or places like that, the RRP is about £180ish, I haggled mine off a local guy who occasionally uses this forum and got mine for £80... and it was brand new!!

Before anyone suggests... I have clear side repeaters on it now, just not had chance to get a photo as my camera went back for repair not too long ago

You should see how much the grill is for pre-facelift from Irmscher, its a joke for a peice of plastic.

I quite like the grills that you've found on eBay, although I prefer them on the pre-facelift as it looks 'less in your face' - just my opinion though
