Talking New Product - New Age lower mesh grille - just in

Just fitted the first of our stainless steel new lower front grilles and thought I'd post some pics up. First batch of stock should be arriving with us later this week.

Comes complete with fixing kit and brackets.

LOL

I'm afraid that the picture you posted doesn't do it justice, looks a terrible fit and cheap material.
Sorry to be blunt

Ok, ok - agree on the picture - doesn't do it justice, I'll take some more tomorrow for the product, these were just quick snaps.

The grille follows the lines of the bumper cut out perfectly and is fitted flush with the bumper itself

Have to agree. Looks 'stuck on' .

Personally i think if your going to mesh the car you should do all the openings to keep the front of the car consistent (i.e front grille etc). Such as on the EVOs, 22B and Integrale to mention a few. The pic above just looks silly as the plastic mesh on the grille looks out of place now due to the different bumper mesh. Plus silver mesh on a black car.... please

Tony.

Looks exactly what it is, a piece of metal stuck on a bumper.
Needs, recessing, painting black and probably bigger "holes" then it would look more suited for a Subaru and not a Corsa.

Don't like it, don't like the lower grille on these cars (i think even the WR1 grille looks sh*t)

Sorry I really dont like that
The mesh is far too large & it just looks like a total after market thing rather than blending with the car !

Thats only my opinion !

Yep, same opinion here... I had my dealer trying to sell me one, told him he was having a laugh.

It would be interesting to see it recessed in black, but it looks $h1t flush fitted...sorry

£134.99 inc VAT!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad that includes the VAT

Some people would say you were extracting the urine...

It really looks poor in that photo. The kit should also do the recess around the Subaru badge. The pattern on the mesh doesn't suit the car either. Sorry.

ok, well thanks for the feedback! Always good, what ever it is!

it looks a lot better in 'the flesh', it hasnt come across very well in the photo. But agree on the colour - Am speaking with the factory about various coating options. A small S/S frame will run around the outside of the grill to complete the product. This isnt shown in the photos (not yet complete).

Can do much on the product price - the mesh grille material is expensive.

Have to agree, use it to keep your chickens but take it off the car at the earliest opportunity.





Its just wrong!

That will improve things 10 fold.

Should indeed look much better with a frame around it. Here's my poor attempt at a photoshopped version . . .
