V8 Vantage 6-Slat Grill
Discussion
Good evening all,
More advice required as I work through the final few cosmetic improvements on my car.
I have the 6-slat chrome finish grill on the car. Unfortunately the second from bottom slat is slightly misshaped (a little flat instead of uniformly curved near the middle). The fifth (from left tonight) support/bracket is also broken. This is one of the main fixing brackets to the car. The grill is functional but the car deserves better!
I tried to order a replacement from AM last week to be told they are out of stock and won't be back in until mid June at the earliest... Very annoying as I had just come to terms with paying nearly £900 for a grill, to then be told I'll have to wait 8-weeks +.
Does any know of somewhere that can refurbish damaged grills? I guess it will be challenging to replace the support/bracket. Really annoyed as I've been working through a lot of little jobs and I thought it would be the finishing touch to have a fresh grill to bring everything together. Any advice or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Mike

Just found this site. There were spacers on e bay, but nothing showing currently.
https://www.morepartz.co.uk/shop/grille/aston-mart...
Lots of stuff on here inc used spacers, however.....
Never heard of them and nothing about who they are or where they are based. The about us and contact us links are broken too.
Another option is contact David Appleby. They do lots of upgrades and mods and often have bits and pieces lying around.
Good luck!
