Reproduction phase 2 grills

[chris]

Right guys the club has an opportunity to start getting phase 2 GT turbo grills remade, they should be made as OE quality but they are working on a different bottom fixing, as the OE one is rubbish and is next to impossible to replicate. We are thinking they will come in at around the £150 mark so now is a good time to ask if anyone is interested if the club get them made.

So it's also a good opportunity to put your name down as there will be limited amount made. :)

[robx1r]

no one interested?

[Chrispraider]

any idea as to when theyre likely to be ready for? can`t afford one before xmas.

[robx1r]

realistic time scale is 6 weeks for the first lot as the mould still has to be made after the mould it takes 2 days per grille as they leave it in the mould for a day

[Chrispraider]

i`ll have to wait till after xmas but i definetely 100% want one :)

[robx1r]

one of the cooler things is all the grilles will be dyed when they are being made so say you get a stone chip on a red or black car the whole grille would be that colour so it wouldn't be as noticeable, that's being done free of charge

[Chrispraider]

so if mines pearl would it be dyed white?:confused:

[robx1r]

yeah, because behind the white he'll coat the Resin and fibre glass look yellow

[Chrispraider]

still confused :confused: but doesnt take much but i trust you ;)

[robx1r]

bump up for the weekend, I thought people wanted these? if there isn't names here it's not going to happen, :(

Hi mate, brilliant that you taking this on, it's been needed for a long time and a shame the interest is low.

Could you possibly get a photo of a grill you have done as I believe people are cautious of putting there name down for a £150 grill which they haven't seen.

[Rob1980]

It's not that people do not want them, it's just the wrong time of year.

Keep going though and endeavour as you are doing everyone in the club a very good turn and I am sure that everyone appreciates your efforts.

Demand for Grills will also be slow.... Most people would rather repair than pay £150 for them....

Or just make them and chuck on the eBay... (Much bigger market - less tight arse's)...

[Gtturbo]

Or you could have a chat with Mike, he may possibly be interested in a bulk buy?

Please don't give up.

[dangerous dave]

It won't get no cheaper

[casper]

You have done well finding someone willing to take these on.The mould will be very expensive to produce and then theres the time it takes to produce the grills.£150 might seem alot at first but its actually a good price.A bloke i know who works with fiberglass wasnt interested for £150 each as it wasnt worth his time and effort for that price.He also wanted the mould to be funded.:confused:

[Hammer]

Okay, please also put my name down for one. Can we please be given plenty of notice as to when the money would be needed, because I would have to save the money over 2 or 3 months. Thanks ;)

[Ian S]

Better start saving now then!

[Trevhib]

Make sure you take deposits for these. Lest we have another RTOC repeat. :agree:

Please don't give up.

Was a part in having the Phase 1 grills reproduced but the costs were too high as numbers were low.

Not in fiberglass though

[Phil W]

I'll have one. Defo!:)
