Want a different style grill for my V8V....where from?

[AstonExige]

I have a bright finish grill, the one with lots of slats. I'd like to replace it with something different. I like subtle differences, so the 6 bar jobbie is my preference, where is the best place to source these? And what other types are out there?

you can also just remove every other slat for a 4 slat grille on the cheap!

Haha, are you serious?

[jakesmith]

It takes about 15 seconds to do, try it and see what you think, why not

[AstonExige]

Do they just come apart? Ie you can restore it again?

Errrrrr, yes I guess you could to that, i'm not sure it would look any good though !

First place I'd look is eBay to be honest, I doubt there's anyone out there making fake ones so I wouldn't be worried.

Have a saved search on Ebay that has been sending me emails every day since I've had the car - so far only one has come up and like an idiot I missed the auction end :/

DAE have them for £600 inc the VAT. It's a lot for a grill but should think I could sell it for £400 when I sell the car, so its only really costing me £200

<man maths is awesome>

Exactly what I did with mine, worth it to have the grill you want on the car.

Sure, why would you waste 5 minutes of your time finding out and then putting it back again, when you can spend hundreds of pounds on the off chance that you'll like it, that's totally logical isn't it
