Title: merseyspeed and smooth front grill
Post by: jonnym 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.

Have you tried getting a price off TPS or your nearest dealer?

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.

HTH  :happy2:

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....
