g0ldf1ng3r 14 Posted August 20, 2014 arrggghhh the pain lol im hunting for a grill for my early valver but dont think this will fit as the tabs will be in different places :( have you got an early one in the others you mention by any chance? (if your willing to part with it) thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted August 20, 2014 I thought there was a way of fitting a late grill to an early car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted August 20, 2014 I have a couple of these and they fit mine which is an early car.Don't think there is any difference Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 14 Posted August 21, 2014 I thought there was a way of fitting a late grill to an early car. i think you can with a bit of butchery & some silicone sealant or similar IIRC the difference is that the late grill has 3 tabs on the bottom (1 central & the other 2 equidistant from the centre) whereas an early grill only has 2 tabs which are about 1/3 of the way in from each edge. my valver has a 'modified' late 3 slat grill but im hoping to source the correct early version - however im not keen on paying £75 to heritage for it :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted August 21, 2014 Here's a couple of pics of mine fitted (bad quality) of course my car could have a later slam panel on it which could explain it. But i had a G60 with a late OEM grille fitted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted August 21, 2014 Just hacksaw the middle tab off the bottom and sand it smooth. Literally takes 5 mins. It will still fit to both early and late slams. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 14 Posted August 21, 2014 Thanks clumpy & cazza!!! I thought all of the bottom tabs were in the wrong place Brilliant info & handy to see pics. Jim - if it would be ok with you can i please put a potential 'yes please i will have it' on your grill & i will confirm tomorrow once ive double checked i have to replace the one i have?

clumpy1 11 Posted August 21, 2014 Here is a couple of better pics top clips lower slam panel for 3 apps for the ones on the bottom can only assume my car had a Late slam panel fitted when it was painted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
