merseyspeed and smooth front grill
« on: December 18, 2012, 10:46:06 am »
I want one of these and so far the only people I can find who supply them are merseyspeed.I I've had no previous dealings with them, so wondering anyone knows what their like. Considering the price (pretty much double that of a grill with plate holes in, I don't want rubbish!).

Didn't know where to post this so put it here. Likewise, if anyone has any better places selling this let me know. Cheers.

Pretty reputable company who've been around for years, used them myself over past 20 years. We're based in a very small shop in Aintree Liverpool, but recently moved to a purpose built unit in St Helen's.

Dealer said no. TPS I'm getting a call back tomorrow, although they said they'd try find the one I want....but want a part number which I think I have.

Genner - thank you
SL03JOE - thank you once again. I am actually considering it as it'll be somewhat cheaper. Just waiting for prices to come back.

Cheers people.

TBH that's a fair price especially if it comes with the GTI Badge fitted. Treat yourself, tis Christmas. There's no substitute for a genuine smoothed grill. You'll always make about half that money back when you come to sell it one day.

My genuine one....
