Falchoon I see red Member 5,758 Member For: 22y 1m 30d Location: nowhere in particular Posted 11/08/04 03:52 AM Share Posted 11/08/04 03:52 AM I noticed a few BA XRs from the FPV/Tickford club when I was at Wakefield Park on Sunday and noticed some had lower grilles. Some had a plain type but with an XR badge attached, I think these might be the same as the ones available through Jeff's (Turbo6man) daughter. Other cars had the Herrods lower grille, these have the word "Herrod" incorporated into the grille which may or may not appeal to you. As far as I know they aren't available "plain" from Herrods. I think with the Herrods logo they are trying for the same affect as AU T3s which had the Tickford bird logo in the grille. Some people have said that the Herrods grilles rust because they aren't powder coated like the other ones. None of the ones I've seen have rusted.Pic 1 is the "plain" grille but with an XR badge. Look good but the diamond size of the mesh is not quite the same as the upper grille, if that worries you. The AU T3s had slightly smaller mesh size compared to the upper one as well.

More expensive than the plain grille, about $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the lower grille mesh on the AU T3s is a larger size than the upper ie. the gaps in the mesh are larger size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
