Never tried, but you can feel that they are more than one peice as they wrattle in your hand. Same on Standard Vento Grilles i think.

Post by: d4w50n on 14 May 2009, 15:34: Yeah it's definately metal on mine (there is a tiny bit of rust over one of the corners), and I can see from how it's connected that it's separate from the grill.

Enough about what it's made of, does it have a name?!
