New V12 Vantage S grill

[Windymiller]

Anyone know if the new grill will fit earlier Vantages? Looks really nice!

Just remove your grille, a quick spray around with a matt black aerosol, and you have cracked it.

Please post the photos afterwards.

Don't see why it shouldn't, as far as I know it's the same body panels...

Erm not quite... the 'old' ones have half a dozen or so (depends on spec/model)horizontal slats with seven thin up-rights - dont have the two angled up-rights and don't have the mesh insert either.
Besides that you are correct

This new grill is for extra air flow and cooling due to the extra heat coming from the 565BHP V12 engine.

Must admit, I did wonder just how much more air could/would go through the 'open' vent when the AM guy was telling us about that!

Yep and I know of a standardish V12V 570BHP with no extra cooling required

And pointless.

I heard AM say that as well but if cooling is an issue i would move that numberplate down a bit instead.
