badgeless grille

Post by Cavalier342 »

Hi all :) Just wondering, does anyone know where i can pick up a cheap badgeless grille? cant really find any, and ones i did find were the wrong colour. I'm looking for a dark blue one, as in a Kings Blue colour. many thanks. Andy

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

You may find yourself rubbing down and respraying a grill.
Its what i had to do, its fairly cheap and straight forward.

oh rite ye ok. sounds good, but i dont wanna wreck it though. i took the badge off before, but there was just a big black circle there and it didnt look right lol. i wonder if theres someway of taking the whole circle bit out and be left with the smooth clean lines look. cheers for the advice anywho :D

If yours is a 1992 then it's pre facelift, so just get a cavalier GSi grille and jobs a good un. I've got one here, collect it and it's yours...

Choose Cavaliers, choose Air Max, choose Tom Wilson and Ultrasonic, choose V-power, choose 6th gear, choose Toyo Proxes, choose to prove anything is possible... except stopping the back arches rusting.

no, mate its definitely the face-lifted model. the badge is in a holder in the middle of the grille, as opposed to the pre-facelift badges that are on the bonnet. but i do quite like the pre-facelift grilles, they look better with the clean lines rather than a fat badge in the middle :lol:
