After-market F/L grilles - any recommendations?
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  Smiley

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

the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it
