Talking Anyone got Mesh Grille Set?? (+ quick shift for MY05)

Just wondered if anyone has got this grill set and any pictures so I can see what it looks like on a 'real' life car.

Previously I have also gone with the quick shift on a new car, but I see the price is ridiculous now £199 plus fitting. I know there are third party ones for <£100. What have other people done? (on brand spanker)

Mine was fitted at Powerstation - I believe it is the Prodrive version.

I think it's the £ 225.00 (inc. VAT, exc. Fitting) Part No. SACC2567
that puts some off.

My all stainless grills are home grown in Essex for around £100 for the pair fitted.The mesh is welded to the stainless surround for strength.

Before :-



After :-

Personnally i don't think the grille suits the car, especially the upper one. Have seen one or two that have been powder coated black and they look better. I think a lot of it is down to the colour of the car (ie silver cars look better).

Obvoiusly this is my personal opinion and it wouldn't do if we all thought the same..!
