Unfortunately I need a new front grill to replace a cracked pepper-pot one. I know Fibreon do one but I can't find a picture of it on a mk1 Tuscan. If anybody has a picture of it or an alternative could you post a picture so I can decide whether to stick with old or go with a new design? TIA John.

Hi John,

This guy ( http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/profile.asp?h... ) has one on his but his profile picture isnt that clear, he might send you some photos if you ask nicely??, I was going to get one fitted to mine so i asked him where it came from he didn't know as it was on the car when he bought it but I think it came from Fibreon.

Iam just looking for an excuse to get one, need someone to reverse into the front of me hehe Sorry low blow.

Try Surface & Design in Blackpool . I got a MK2 front grill and pair of S spliters for £500 , fitted but un-painted (only primed). http://www.surfaceanddesign.com/
You could try a Mk2 grill or maybe they could get you a pepper pot one or even a custom design .

My splitter is a Mk2 one and was fitted by Greg at Newlunn who are now part of Power. They are based over Northampton way but are in the middle of moving from one workshop to another (I believe).

I can give you Gregs mobile number if you want to check details with him. Just PM me and I'll drop you a line.

Thanks Dominic, do you have any cooling issues though as air flow looks like it could be quite restricted with the number plate or do the T2 driving light holes direct air to the radiator?

Hi Julian,

Would a MK1 splitter fit under this grille?
