ChrisR Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 I have found a company in America who stocks a Front Bumper Grill for MKIV Supras (See Link) -: http://store.yahoo.com/supra/19supmesgril.html Does anyone know if these are available to buy in the UK and if you think they are a good idea.

Terminator Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 This has been posted before. Sorry don't know if anyone has got one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinL Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 I depends on how much they block the air flow and if you like the styling. I personally think the look horrid so I went for the garden centre mesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as5606 Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I have just installed one that I purchased from GrillTech in the states (e-bay.com). And maybe (just to proove suprastore is expensive), the picture suprastore has is from the grilltech ad on ebay so they are just buying grilltech's gear. By the way, I paid just $39.99 for mine with $20 delivery (only took 3 days). Eay to fit and looks damn fine....(just like in the pic of the link) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sykick Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I just got the one from Grilletech also. I like it a lot. It took about an hour to fit, but it is well made. Also as said before, it is cheaper than suprastore. I paid $75 with shipping included. Go to : http://www.grille-tech.com for more info. Sorry, don't have ant pics yet, but thet are on the grilletech web site. rgds, Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted July 22, 2002 Author Share Posted July 22, 2002 Excellent Info, Thankyou. What colour have you gone for Black or Silver? I think i will go for Silver as my Supra is Black. Regards Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted July 23, 2002 Author Share Posted July 23, 2002 Well i have ordered the grille in silver and they have alraedy confirmed the order to be despatched on Thursday. Just out of interest how have you got on with the install, did it involve removing the whole bumber. Thanks again for the info on http://www.grille-tech.com/. You have saved me some cash and it was easier ordering from them as they accept credit cards. The other mob Suprastore wanted the money wiring or a money order sending, both which involve charges even before you buy the product.

Steve Cargill Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 It's a pretty good price and if it is an easy fit - without taking the bumber off - then thats a big plus. I'm not sure about the styling, it's too far forward I think, also it doesn't do the side pods, which really add to the look. Tempting though.... I'd probably go for black on a black car to counteract the styling problem - the silver would contrast too much IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as5606 Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 No bumber removal. Takes about 30 mins to fit. Only small problem is getting the last cable tie tight (need to get in in from behind but I could not find an easy way). Let me know if you have any probs.

ChrisR Posted August 2, 2002 Author Share Posted August 2, 2002 Just a quick update if any one is interested in Front Bumber Grilles. My Grille arrived this morning 02/08/2002 and was despatched by http://www.grille-tech.com last Thursday 25/07/2002. I have yet to see the product until i get home however the package is in tact which is a good sign. The final cost was 75.95USD @1.5174 which equates to £50.05 and with delivery taking only 8 days from despatch i reckon thats a good service. Thanks again to as5606 & sykick for the original info on Grille-Tech. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated it too and i started this blast from the past thread. I have since cut the metal grill down to fit inside the scoop and refitted the black trim to it. IMO It now looks the nuts.

I found it behind a cupboard last weekend so I made it smaller, cut my hands a lot, then decided I didn't want it on anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
