grille
« on: 14 September 2004, 15:00 »
My car will be out of the bodyshop in a week or so, so I need a new grille. My one has seen better days.

I was going to get a 3 bar one but someone of here told me a while ago that they look tacky. The reason being is there normal 5 slat ones cut away and with only 3 slats stuck on with epoxy. Something along the lines of that......

Do I just buy a new 5 bar one or go for a 3 bar.....where can i find decent ones from?

Any help appreciated.

Well ive got a 3 bar grill and i think it looks better. Makes the front look wider and a bit mean. From the back it does look like its an origional with the grill cut out and 3 bars fiberglassed in but from the front you would never be able to tell.

I already have a 4 bar one, clips are broken. I want to try out a three bar one, see how it looks.
