Hello all,
I’ve owned a 2006 Vanatge 4.3 since August. It came with a mesh, carbon fibre grille and I would like to go back to the slatted grille. Paid for the 8-bar one on a website over Christmas (not doing proper checks) and emails confirmation showed there was not actual grill. So I looked at the 6-bar and was quite happy to get BUT I thought I would check here first. Is there anyone out there who fancies a swap? At the moment, I can’t comment on the provenance of my current grille, apart from to say I have driven the car over 3000 miles and there have been no problems, so I assume it is fit-for-purpose. It looks like an OEM V12 grille (see photos).
Is anyone interested in swapping?
Edward

Such a cool part for an N420 that comes with all the other carbon bits!

I always have been interested in buying it but never pulled the trigger. This is Big Hunt's current grille, it was my car before. wink



6-bars, gunmetal, would go perfectly on your car, Edward.

Beautiful, the 6 grille set up is more balanced.

Hi, I’ve got a OE silver 6 bar grill I’d be happy to swap, or even potentially sell.

Thank you all. These Astons are so good looking!

Just for reference, mine is silver, I wrapped it black, the conversion kit is just the brackets

I’m York based, but can travel. At meeting in Birmingham Friday, with an overnighter, so could probably arrange something Saturday if that worked.

It’s a Vantage S grill. If you click on my username it will give you an option to email me, so we exchange numbers and go from there.

Hi, I have have an 8-bar silver from my 4.3 sitting around that I`d be happy to swap for your carbon/mesh unit. PM me if you are still on the hunt.

Off-topic but good to see you are still around and you still have the car Dean!

Yes still around and the Tungsten Terror lives on, approaching 110,000km. Much less active on PH in the last year or so.

Hi Irrelevant101 do you still have the grill? I maybe interested in a deal. I have a 2013 Vantage S grill in bright finish. I tried messaging you but it wouldn’t allow
