Anyone bought one of these grils for the Blobeye impreza,

Made by - The grilleguy! in US. £20 + post of about the same

I dont like the upper one but i think this pic is just intended to deomonstrate what your options are.

 

I might be interested in getting one of these. Have you got a link? Google isn't coming up with anything useful. Cheers.

Hmmm - It's a good price. You are looking at ~50 dollars for a black one plus 20 dollars for postage to UK. 70 dollars is less than £40. I am really tempted. The only thing putting me off is the fact it is held in by cable ties! What do you think?

 

How do you know this is held in by cable ties? did you contact them about one?

 

Says in the advert, been looking at these but personally don't think the round mesh looks right and may restrict airflow to the radiator IMHO

 

I had a look in the eBay shop and it says cable ties:

I know what you are saying about round holes as the upper grill ones are not round so it may look odd. I don't think their is any restriction to airflow though as I would only go for the larger holes - Stiletto ones maybe.

I am thinking of spending £70 and getting one from Revolution in Newcastle. I definately want a recessed one.

 

I wanted the recessed look so decided to do it myself. Bought some stainless mesh of ebay, removed the front bumper, cut the mesh to fit and fitted it using small black cable ties. Bit of a sod getting the bumper off but was quite pleased with the result.

 

Really good looking front end that S.S. No chance of me taking the bumper off though...so I'll just have to pay the money.

I was just hoping someone would comment on the one from Revolution regarding the finish and fitting of it (or recommend an alternative).

 

In the end I decided to go for a DIY option - bought some competition mesh from Halfords for £22 and some cable ties for £1.50. Did a spot of measuring and snipped the mesh to size. Took a couple of hours messing about getting it to the right size, but job done now. I'm happy with it...see what you think?

 

BTW - No bumper removal required for this, just did a bit of masking to save any scratches.

 

I saw the Grillguy ones on Ebay USA a while ago, i was thinking of getting some as well. Be interesting to hear from anyone who's had some expreience of them first
