Looks very similar to an Irmscher grille Steve. Get yourself an Irmscher badge and no one will know the difference. :y

You can get them from here....

Just thinking of that i have got one of the "I" Irmscher badge on , on order as not many places have them in stock will see how it looks. :y.

Thanks BoB had my eye out of one for some time but the ones from IMF where £145  :o :o :o. For £47 very happy with it. Gives the car a Mean look.  ;D ;D

I think what bob was trying to say is that if you buy one of these:

It would look like an irmscher grill as it is  :y

After the tips about the range of irmscher logos that you can get i gave it a go. Got them from LFM in Leicestershie as they stock the full range on the shelf . The grill one was £7.00 and the back one was needed thanks to some little SH** pulling off the Vauxhall one overnight in the week >:( >:(

See what you think.

My precise female eye spotted the off-centre location of the rear badge.. ::)
 Or did you place it to one side on purpose?
Front one looks ok tho  :y
