NB8B Grill help needed.

Postby bear2230 » Thu Dec 16, 2010 5:35 pm

I recently saw on this forum a very nice looking front grill.
It had horizontal chrome slats about 5 I think and that was all.
I have spent about a week trying to find it again but have now conceded defeat.
It was a bought grill for around $200.00 but I don’t know from where.

Help please.

Richard.

Looks great!
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

How do they connect up? I am looking for one to put on the drag car but want it to completely block the air flow, but not sure how sturdy it would be at 280km/hr.

Thanks

It's plastic and it's held on with 2 6mm screws bolted to the chassis
280 ks would probably sh*t itself I know I would...
