Anyone in this community that has the Grille-Tech's Silver Race Style for your S? I just ordered it for my S.

 

I can say *this*...I know Chris Driver, owner of Grille-Tech. Great guy and a solid vendor on the boards. He assisted me with a "one-off" for my rare Cavalleresco/Distinto Belleza front bumper .

You'll like the product...it will definitely look nice on your Berlina

Thanks Dave,

Just an update, and a little bit of background info.

I'm getting some work done on the front end of my car. Had a little bumper bender a few weeks ago and I thought that the only thing damaged was the front bumper cover. Well, few days ago, I noticed that there was condensation forming inside the right headlight housing. So I called my insurance company and I'm having the bumper fixed and repainted and getting the headlight housing replaced.

I think the silver race style will look nice... I'll take a pic after the the fix and the install.

 

Hmmm... Will the insurance company allow you to keep the old headlamp? If so, ...

Oh...and definitely take some pics with the grille installed .

 

Well, I don't know about that. I can always ask. The worst they can say is no.

 

Insurance company's can not control where you get the work done... they have to give you the money if you tell them you want the check. Its a federal law, because insurance companies used to get recycled parts and cheap service at their 'prefered locations'. Now they have little control. Your dealer may even just give the money for it to you if you talk to them before they order it.

 

I think the grille-tech looks good but not sure if it's for me or not. Definitely a nice low cost mod that doesn't look lame-o and sets you apart from the crowd.

 

I've decided to get the diamond style instead of the Race style.

 

Well, the adjuster just called and said that when he removed the bumper cover, he didn't find any damage to the headlight housing that I thought was damaged. Now I'm thinking that the inside of the housing was getting condensation because there was a gap between the top of the bumper cover and the hood. In any case, they are going to fix my bumper and repaint it but are going to leave the housing alone.
