Hi,

There is one for sale on E-bay, but the seller is referring to it as a "late bay" grill.
It's going for a tonne.

Hi,

I kinda pointed it out to the geeza...

Oh yeah...found it. That is the grill, I'm only after the chrome grill surround. Hope that makes sense. From what I understand they are not as rare and expensive... let's see if I'm proven wrong.

Hi,
I think he is just selling the bling? You can always ask him to take it off. Its easily done and wont damage the anodised aluminium grill your looking to buy (it's unfortunately not chrome, although it buffs up rather well).

Nuts! But they are "German Quality"

Did you get yours from C&C?

 

[andewilson]

It would appear that they are current "german quality" which doesn't quite match og. It is a very good attempt but the trim isn't curved enough. If you have an unpainted grill to shape it on, it would fit ok. Bit as with all repro stuff, it needs work putting in

 

[Humphrey]

Thanks mate....I'll take a look but if it's not up to scratch it will be going back!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll let you know how I get on.

I got mine from FBIVW in Swansea, original too and about £30 i think....

 

[Humphrey]

In case anyone was following this thread. I got my C&C "German Quality" deluxe grill trim yesterday in the post and fitted it today. I have to say it's not too bad. Bit of a gap around the RH lower corner but acceptable I think:

 

[Lordain Volley]

Humph,

Thanksd for posting this, it's good to know the quality of reproduction products. Your bus looks voondabar. Coolville.
I just bought a Vintage Speed shifter direct from Tiwan for £180 (all in). Saved £30 by cutting out the middle man. I'll throw it up later.

Yeah that's a good call. I got my bumpers from Vietnam and saved a bomb. They are awesome quality too.
