You've mentioned a stainless steel mesh and I agree that that is the way to go to make them really stand out - e.g. Bentleys or Jags! You could even offer square or diamond woven mesh!

Keep us posted - good luck.

there is a option on meshs fresh small holed style and soon to be original looking mesh and all metals included are stainless steel

hi ya folks

just a little update here now that christmas is over the plan is to get some of these made now what my guy plans on doing - to start with is 2 complete sets of these grills every 2 weeks with mesh style an option as already posted before can have small holes in the mesh or another option of mesh like the originals had in them which ever suits your car or restoration needs

they will cost roughly £275 plus shipping cost at time of shipping , my guy excepts usd via paypal and he will ship them direct to the person ( saves me having to wait for them to arrive and then re-shipping on to anyone speeding up the process and keeps me out of the loop money wise ) any enquires i can handle and questions and will do so as best i can but i am just a middle man which will help guide you to getting a very nice period style grills made to fit your amazon i have fitted three sets so far and they fit real nice and look fantastic as seen at last years N.E.C birmingham VEC stand

i hope i have updated everyone with as much info as i can but any questions feel free to ask me here or via a pm i will answer as soon as i see messages

be aware of the conversion rate from your native currency to usd as that can change which is out of all of our hands .

Grills have arrived thank you Robert and look the absolute dogs danglies. The car isn't looking its best at the moment so I'm going to wait until the weather picks up a bit and she can get a good polish before I fit them to do the grills justice.

Thanks again Robert
