I knew they did a Chimp one but not Griff. Hope it doesn't have that nasty metal framework round the edge - IMHO wrecks it.

Hate to say it but from the pic, don't think I'll be going for one. It's meant to look better in the flesh but still not convinced.

If you mean Simon T's version, you'll have to have the headlight conversion done as well otherwise you won't have any main beam.

True, just seen your pick and have to say it looks better than the other pic I've seen of one. I'm not doing a u-turn on this, just being honest. I'll get me cloak.

I like it, does it improve the air flow to the rad at all ?

Following their recent excellent job on the back of my Griff 500( see my profile pic) I'm going to have TVRbodyshop's twin headlight upgrade.

I want to combine this with a grill but not the Leven one as I don't like the trim around the edge.I read Julian Rowntree's piece in Aug Sprint regarding his Cerbera 4.5 ( do you post on here Julian? )and I am going to follow his idea of custom making a grill with mesh from Demon Tweeks.This will involve smoothing out the top line of the griff front air intake where the main beams used to sit.I also plan to fit a smaller number plate on the bottom lip - although I know this might get me pulled over!

Any experience or suggestions before I start - main challenges seem to be getting a good fixing for the grill.
