Title: none standard front grill
Post by: paul l on 06 June 2017, 16:24:06
Looking for a none standard all black grill, where can one get ones paws on one? Secondly is there much in variation of quality? Seen one with a chrome trim on fleebay for silly money, just want a plain black to be honest

The Silly Money ones are probably Irmscher, which are the Original options for the Omega and well made.

have one here, but go and talk to your Bank Manager first.  ;D

Are the just plain black ones irmscher too? Bought an after mkt grill for my astra van for £14, looks and fits very well. Didn't realise the prices for such grills on omega's are so sought after lol

You can buy cheap ones. But the genuine ones command decent money

I'd quite like to swap my Irmscher front grill for a standard one, and the previous owner has offered to find me a rear door in the right colour (rare Z20M petrol blue) and a standard grill as a straight swap.

Does this seem like a good deal?

A decent door and original grill are worth approx. £50. How much is your Irmscher grill worth ?  ;)

Fleebay seems to be drawing a blank for said grill. One shall keep an eye on the for sale section and fleebay for a none irmscher one  ;)

Ask him to throw in a Full Service, Valet inside and out, months supply of Super Unleaded and you might be getting close.

I believe OP is after a Cheapo One,  ;)

I have one like that (real Irmy) plus the Irmscher Logo on it, would be cheaper than the Ebay one but wont be a give away price.

Thinking about it, I may have one of the cheapo All Black Look-a-like ones kicking around somewhere.

wow that is a ridiculous price.  i got a new one for £15.42 inc delivery from amazon back in 2012, black ABS plastic still working fine and looks like new (what's to go wrong with a plastic grill that would merit paying £150?)

doesn't seem to be available now but the description was "FK Automotive FKSG34009 ABS Sports Grille Opel/Vauxhall Omega B Type Build Date 99-03 Black" for fl model

I believe that one has been on Ebay for about 8 weeks now, if it is the one I have regularly seen when looking at all Omega parts on there.

So, make them an offer as I cannot see them selling it for that given that few of our precious Omega's that would be suitable for it are around and few are going to pay that! After my earlier prang, I bought an "as new" standard genuine front grill from Ebay for "just" £31.49 including P&P.  To me that was worth every penny and made my car look good again, but to pay £150 for a so called "special" plain black one; nah!! ::) ::) ;D ;D :y

You can buy a brand new, genuine one for about the same price as that battered one :-X

Look for a Polish one on ebay,

I bought a stienmetz copy on ebay years ago for about 20 quid but when the estate got written off I forgot to remove it

Now I have a mesh one also from ebay and from poland, its not to everyones taste but its a tad better than the grey extraction grill that it came with
