ok thanks
Its about time someone with the correct skills started making some pattern ones? There is just about every other part reproduced and these grills do look bloody good IMO

$2000 = £1600, by the time you've added shipping from the US and been hit with customs fees you might as well get an OEM one for similar money.

My main dealer supplied and fitted for about that money.
Which was also the supply only price from ambits too at the time.
