Anybody got one of these grilles?

Hi,

Want to buy an irmscher grille for my C, and there is one on ebay that is around the right price at the moment, but as its got 4 days left, and 14 watchers, i'm thinking its going to sell for top money.

So i found another grille on the "buy it now", and wonder if any of you guys have one of these. TBH it looks a bit cheap, off the car.

Fleabay Grille

thats a but it now only price... you cant actually bid on it lol. Its not an auction as such, the price you see is what you pay.

They are ok grills, decent quality, big phil has an original Kamei Grille, which these are a copy of.

Cheers, i know that one is a buy it now, its the Irmscher one on there that is up as an auction and i just know it will go for top money, all irmscher stuff seems quite expensive.

The cheaper grille looks OK but i wondered if anybody had pics with it fitted as i need to know if it looks good enough or should i save the pennies up and stop whinging?!?

is your car an sri mate if so do what i did and spray the grille matt black like i did and it cost just £2.99 for the paint IMO it looks very good indeed as for that grille you are looking at on ebay IMO it looks kind of cheap,

its an SXi which has the SRi/GSi bumpers. Thought about painting the grille as i like yours, but i want to get rid of the v bar completely.

Have sold a few bits i had off my Focus and waiting for my car tax rebate so add it all together and it may stretch to an irmscher grille. Its horrible being skint

horrible but a common complaint! i was going to get the irmscher grille myself , but i must admit i prefer mine and dare i say there are only two of us on here that have done this, myself and pimm, who i may add ,did his first

A man with perfect taste,actually mine is colour coded and not matt black, still looks really good, Vectrapogo. Look at this previos link S73VE see what you think http://www.vectra-c.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8127

Like the idea of the colour coded grille but mine has chrome not only at the top of it (the v bar) it also has it around the lower edge.

Seen one of those earlier irmscher grilles with the silhouette badge, going soon-ish on fleabay. Have recieved the money for my old head unit so i now have a budget for this.

How much should i go to for this type of grille?
