**cragmaz** · Wednesday 7th January 2009, 21:28

Hi All

i am wanting a mesh/ de-badged sports grille for my 850 T5, but cant decide what type or where to get it from.

Dont like the eggcrate type tho,
Any suggestions or pics to help me decide?

Cheers guys

Craig

ive just fitted those and dont mind the look, it had some aweful airhorns under the bonnet before

Oh I don't mind the look of them either, but they do block the intercooler rather a lot

i reckon that looks ok mate, but dont think it would look right on mine as i have a massive custom intercooler directly behind the grill and would just show straight thro, got a normal grille on at the mo, but sprayed satin black, but all the paint is chipping off.

Not really sure mate.....the theory that they do is sound though. They are simply an obstruction to optimum air flow is all....nothing major of course (like half the front bumper lol)

stainseys is the same as mine.
