Hi fellas, just gauging interest here, but I have two spare grilles in my possession, one phase 1 and one phase 2/3.
I will be smoothing these in my spare time using fibreglass and Isopon, topping with filler primer and finally white primer ready to for paint.
If anyone's interested, I would be asking for £40 delivered for either of them in this condition. Let me know and i'll get to work.

I'd definitely be interested in the ph3 one, have you got any pics? How do yet resist to cracking with this method?
Cheers

The one on my sundance lasted perfectly well but sold that on, last I heard it was still going strong.
The way i've been doing them is to cut out the middle, fibreglass the rough shape and apply a SMALL amount of filler over the top. The less filler used the better!

Ah, Ill pass then, sorry mate, too far away from payday.
Should stop being lazy and do it myself, but for £40 thats a bargain!
I daresay someone will rip your arm off...
