Personally I like the Herrod but for those looking for a cheaper alternative these guys are always on ebay $80 -

And no I dont have any affiliation with them so dont know any other details except what in the ad

BA XR Grills

Thanks for the link Paranormal - I hope the guy makes the grilles better than he takes photos, the red car is the only one where you can actually see the grille. The holes look smaller than Herrods/factory grille.

I am still chasing a grille that matches the upper grille in mesh size.

After following threads on lower grilles here for a little while, I sourced a grille for my T from Lou at Auto Strips and Windows. It's dearer than the flymesh, but IMHO you get what you pay for.

For about $150 Lou will post you a grille that looks factory, is powder-coated, and has the same flat surround as the upper grille. So it just slips into place and can be fastened with two self tappers and a cordless drill.

This is unlike the flymesh , which is straight, flat metal. It's also unlike the Herrod product, in that it doesn't have the logo, which does cheapen the thing.

Lou's in QLD and his number is 0418 734 971.

yeah, you're only new, so we will let it slide however, the rules state tht you must post pics if you are going to tease us like that!!!

is the grille mesh the same size as factory upper grille?

Fair enough...I consider myself chastised!

You know, it's funny, but I feel I know a lot of you guys already. I've been lurking in the background for a couple of months now, partly due to the fact that I don't have the technical knowledge that you all do . Note that I don't even have an avatar etc...

I don't have a camera or scanning gear, so can't do pics at this stage. But I'd describe the grille as being almost identical to the top one. But it's metal (powder-coated the same colour), and the gaps in the mesh are marginally smaller than the factory product. The top grille diamonds are 9cm long and 2cm tall, whilst the bottom one's are 5cm long and 2cm tall. It has a nice factory-feel surround - just like the top one.

Oh, and can I welcome myself to team phantom at this stage???!!!

Thanks Chris.

Yes, that is the grille. Represents good value for money, I think.
