Could be interested in a set of black grilles for a MY01. My Grille tech ones are rusted as hell and I also hate the surround that they have. These sound much better!.
Tried to access more photos on the gallery but couldn't seem to do it. The photo above is a bit hard to see in detail ie. quite dark. Any other photo's of the black grilles to see the hole pattern, surround etc???. Also, want to know how they are fixed on?. Let me know coz v. interested!!!!.

Also......what other patterns available??. Went for the circular hole option with Grille tech and I know they also do a diamond pattern. Are you offering any alternatives????.

The perforations in the grille look quite small, will this effect airflow to the radiator for cooling or to the air intake snorkle??
Mike, did'nt you once look at the Jaguar XKR type weaved grille, this should be good for airflow.
I like the alternative to the rusting grille-tech though.

didn't expect this level of interest - one at a time!ctrlaltdelboy - I will try to get some more pics taken for you. They are circular punched stainless mesh. I will get the exact hole size and pitch for you.
tim_d - edit orginal thread to include install instructions. No need to remove faux vents they go over the top.
marc R - you have PM!
FieldL - PM me and I will sort out a beta test for you
AE - punched stainless is expensive and getting them epoxy coated is not cheap either
but I reckon that is the best long term solution for them to last. PM me when your Grill tech ones rust again 
Neil - see updated first post. There are loads of different patterns including stars
to make thing simple I have limited it circular punched at the moment. I am working on the Diamond pattern the Grill Tech offer at the same sort of price and a woven pattern like those used on Jaguar XKR's but these will be a lot more

Mike,
Check the sig. I've got Supers2k's custom grills. I bought a sheet of Mesh from a car tuning place in Croydon, cut some templates and made my own.
Had them on 4 months and not any hint of any rusting.
