Yep, got one of those on mine. Looks ok on the darker colours, but the (wider looking ) border is a bit over powering on the lighter colour cars imo. Silver etc needs a colour coded or chrome surround imo.
I paid almost double that about 5 years ago. Solidly made one piece affair looks very similar the two piece more fragile Irmscher ones. Good shout for big imo. :y
If I was admin, as Esta suggests, the nut bag, that would be 10 browney points attributed to Mr Griffin. :D

For £13 including the postage I may take the punt.
My car is silver though so may not work too well according to 'admin' Gixer. ::)

They've got silver grills as well which would look good on..... er..... silver cars? :-\ :y ::)

Well high prey's indeed from Mr gixer, thank-you. Or is he just after my vote for admin ;)

Don't want to be too negative here as these grilles are priced super cheap , but just a word of warning :-\
Not sure if still applies but FK automotive shipping charges were expensive. I went to order a chrome edged black grille from
them , it was 19.99 as I remember. But with shipping charges . . . it was £40 .00
As I recall their web site states price includes VAT but not shipping.
The shipping costs are only added right at the end of the transaction ::) ::)
Still a good deal though :y :y

I thought that Gixer frowned upon members recommending products that havn't been thoroughly tested for 999 years, purely because it's cheap. ::)
Or does that only apply to windscreen wipers? :-\ ;D

I can only get the site to work in fooking euro's.

I'm sure I said 5 years. ::) ;D Let me check. Yes I did . I have had one for 5 years. Works well. Hasn't broken, faded, slipped or marked. (Even though it doesn't have the rubber backing of the Irmscher ones)
Ther was a similar thread years ago posted buy Albatross iirc. And SP.32. Come on Tig keep up. ;D

Am I right in thinking that there's a difference between PFL and FL headlights? FK are advertising some nice-looking Depos, but they're advertised as 'Omega B 99-03', which contradicts that train of thought:

That pic is DEFINITELY pre/mid facelift :y
Inboard corners are rounded not facelift pointed...

I have an FK Automotive one on the 2.6, black grill with chrome surround and chrome horizontal fins, it looked great when first fitted but 12 months and 40K later and the black is chipping off the grill and the chrome (well chrome effect paint) is beginning to go dull and wont clean up. If I bought another is would be just plain black plastic.

You are indeed. However, FK do lots for both; Chrome, Black and standard, plus 'angel eyes' if you like that sort of thing
they advertise as 93-99 and 2000 - 2004 IIRC......
