Hey all

I just received a grille from this seller the other day.

Click-->eBay

I enquired about a group-buy, but the price and shipping was not worthwhile (ie. negligible saving from buying them individually), so I thought I would just give a heads-up for those who are interested.

Nicely made and fits perfectly.

hrmm.. i've always wondered why people buy grilles.. for the aesthetics, or for radiator related reasons... or for both :) :idea:

Problem with those ones is that they can sometimes rust and the airflow isn't the best either from what I understand.

I bought a Techno Grill (read the ducks guts...no longer made! :x ) but this time around I went for the Buck Diamond woven mesh one...mind you I'm still yet to fit it! :lol: :oops: :shock:

Both except i don't clean it anymore. Only remove the bugs and leaves so now its not so blingy. They are good to protect from flying rocks, hidden dragon(flies)..yeah corny :lol:

My one doesn't seem rusted, but it's sure dirty. I should really clean it more :P

As for airflow, I haven't experienced any problems both on the road or on the track.
