« on: September 10, 2007, 00:07:26 »
Anybody know where i can get a gulf state front grill(300 shape)?? without paying ££££££s!! or has anybody cut up a standard grill to make a copy? from what i can make out from the photos,it is basically a standard grille with the center bar removed and a mesh fitted :?

Try Discoparts, Mark Casey has one on his truck, and I think he sells them.

Give Mark a ring, I vaguely remember talking to him about them in the past, but it might have only been TD5s.

Don't you mean bars as in the horizontal bars, could you not just cut the bars out and replace it with ally mesh, or am I being too simplistic   :!: was thinking along those lines my self.

That was my plan if i couldnt get hold of a genuine one,got a price today for a genuine LR one-£135+vat-my company discount :wink: ,but they are just checking to see if they are still available from the factory.My mate in parts seems to remember them being obsolete now :cry:

If thats the case its back to my original plan of hacking a standard grill to bits and making my own :roll:

I've got a standard grille that's been hacked.  Looks OK, but I have replaced it on the racer with a complete standard one instead, I want it to look as standard a possible.

I'll try and dig some photos out.  You can have the grille if you like for some beer tokens and the carriage charge.  Its probably a bit scruffy, though!  I'll have a look and see what its like, It's a while since I've seen it!

Paul,

Its pretty tatty I'm afraid, but I've also got a fairly decent standard grille too, although that has a bit of a crack in it.  Here are some photos.  I don't know how fussy you are.

They are slightly higher res on my Flickr account - FriesianRacing

Terrain Master did them but the domain name has lapsed so the web site is gone.  They were £60+VAT +P&P.  I am not sure if they were OEM but they looked reasonable in the pic on the site...

To be honest, it's simplest to just get hold of an old grille off eBlag and do it yourself.  I've done 2 now, and they've both turned out great (IMHO).  Beats paying silly money for a simple job with a Dremmel  :wink:
