Inc postage to Nowra NSW.... They look pretty good for the price but you have to cut the tabs off your inside front spoiler to fit it in. Easy to do and well worth it I think... Check out my front grill.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks the same to me. Does anyone know. I have herd the herrods grill is about 150ish, that sounds like a good price if that is correct... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(see pic for logos)I asked Michael his thoughts on the airflow loss and potential heat increase and his response answered all my concerns as it was obvious he'd put some thought into this.Response (not a direct quote):'I spoke to Herrod about this and they said that with the smaller mesh there is about a 15% airflow loss.... I've fitted them to Turbos previously that do a lot of highway KMs and had ppl report to me how they are going and they've seen no temp concerns'I'm happy with his confident response and will have it installed today... just need to duck down to the local car wash and give the intercooler a blast with the high pressure hose first to get rid of the existing bugs.Will post pics tonight of the grill with the logo...

Cheers,MiyagiI received an email from Michael yesterday and I will be calling him on Monday to arrange fitting of a grill.I am looking forward to seeing your photos and to read about what's involved in the installation and your views of the grill.I have one of the $75 dollar grills on my car. Inc postage to Nowra NSW.... They look pretty good for the price but you have to cut the tabs off your inside front spoiler to fit it in. Easy to do and well worth it I think... Check out my front grill....I am also a bit concerned about "cutting the tabs off my spoiler" what exactly is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one and paid about $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HocuSChrisT Guests Posted 04/01/04 01:27 PM Share Posted 04/01/04 01:27 PM This has probably already been spoken about elsewhere, but has anyone seen the DJR mesh lower grille in the new Falcon on the cover of the lastest Wheels/Motor mag? The lower grille is in the blood orange Falcon that DJR are doing now. I really like that grille. Looks fantastic. off subject I know, but I saw Dick driving a blueprint one of these with MRS in the car. we were at the Sherwood exit at Moorooka. He had the car filled with marketing stuff and was dressed to impress. Possibly be seeing these cars turn out in dealers in the Brisbane area soon I expect. The blueprint car wasn't his however, because his has DJR-01 as the numberplate, this had a normal numberplate .just for your interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if only Ford took this much care at service time!)I highly recommend the grill to anyone, cost is $75 shipped to your door or $65 fitted at his home in Geelong VIC.Contact details are: mcgrixti@iprimus.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
