Amazon OLD style grills that everyone likes

[Burdekin]

James (Canuck 122) fitted the old style in his, I think he did detail what he did somewhere, maybe he can tell us when next online. I think he fitted old style to a new grill but could be wrong.

yes im sure tho some modification would be needed on front panels and this option apeals to the pureists as easily reverted back to original grills at a later point so no harm done to the integrity of the car

but im always open to ideas and any new or better way of doing things as learning new stuff is great

You've got me thinking with regard to which I prefer now, never really crossed my mind before regarding changing from original. I quite like the fuller outer suround of the early style as does look more classy but leaning maybe towards the bars in the centre rather than the mesh, hmmm, will have to have a look at some pics of early cars I think.

Is it possible to take the mesh apart from the grill to paint it another color?

Thanks

yes the mesh is attached from behind the main outer grill , held in and fixed withing the front panel with a stainless steel bar... last few photos on page 3 i think i showed the photos from the rear of them but defeintly you can remove the mesh at anytime and change mesh or customize them to pop back in as you asked like to paint them etc

Hi there,

I think the idea will appeal to quite a lot of Amazon owners, but the only thing that 'cheapens' them is (in my opinion of course), the pressed mesh itself. It looks like expamet brickwork reinforcing mesh although that's galvanised, so it wouldn't rust!

You've mentioned a stainless steel mesh and I agree that that is the way to go to make them really stand out - e.g. Bentleys or Jags! You could even offer square or diamond woven mesh!

Keep us posted - good luck.
