Title: that irmy lookalike grill for £50
Post by: feeutfo on 05 June 2009, 07:20:52
there was a thread on here a while back, SP 32 involved i think, about a firm selling  front grills for the face lift that looked exactly the same as the irmscher black item just without the badge for £50

Anyone know  where to get them from? Ta

thats the one. Cheers Andy. :-)

Whats the odds of getting a Chrome looking edge on there without it looking like a dogs dinner? Slim i would think? Is the proper irmscher a metal chrome edge or printed on to the plastic like the vx badges?
If you know what i mean...

fits ok. The new one does not have the rubber strips on the edges like the vx one. Doesnt have the location clips either but it doesnt really need them, just screw it in.

Looks great - slightly smaller looking than the irmy one?

Does it split into two pieces so that the surround could be colour coded?

no mate, all one piece.

Loving the facelift grilles on here. I could'nt find anything like that for the Beastie a while ago now so bought a cheapy mesh jobbie, an Elite inner surround & an Irmy badge & after much butchering & spraying i'm quite happy with the result. I won't post a pic but she'll be @ Thetford & Newent this year. :y 8-)
