Front Grill and side grills

Morning!

Does anyone know where I can get a cheap front grill and side grills? I would like to make a mould of them and then make some out of carbon fibre... Razz

Cheers

James

Hi James I am in Basingstoke and not too far from you. I have a spare front grill that you could use and maybe we could come to some arrangement on a new carbon grill for me. Paul Cool

I'm trying to work out the finance numbers at the moment but I think we could come to some agreement! After having a good look at one I think the main part would be carbon and the rear will have to be a mesh of some sort. Will keep you posted!

Can anyone please advise as to how the front radiator grill can be removed? I have been told the whole front bumper must be removed! The silver grill has become dis coloured and I want to clean it or get it resprayed to look new again.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

its glued/melted inplace, either spray paint in situ, or try and find a sports grill to replace it, fitting that involves hacksawing out the olf grill, the new one covers over the jagged edges.

Sadly the sports grill is described by many (mainly me) as ugly as sin, fools disagree but they would as they are fools Rolling Eyes

or buy a face lift bumper/grill as some on here have done, cheap enough but how to get it to Abu Dhabi?

Yep Gary, as CG's comments it's finished as one complete unit - get it painted on the car Thumbs Up

Thanks for the response everyone..... definately looks like it will be painted insitu with out removing the whole front bumper. It seems like it'll be awkward to get paper behind the grill to prevent silver spray going everywhere which will look bad. Think using a brush would look poor also. Ah well Ill give it a try...
