Sam (SPLAM on the forum) supplied me with a new grille that I've just fitted. The quality is superb, he went out of his way to send it in time for my front end re-spray, and its a fraction of the cost of the Steinmetz. But I'd challenge anyone to spot the difference (except for the Steinmetz badge of course!)

It is very colour dependant. I think it looks great on yellow / mandarin and black and that is why I want to see a moonland before i change my plans. I cetainly don't want the pug 407 look. :sick:
