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. ::)

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
