I like the ones similar but with the chrome surround, but I've not seen any recently.

i jus got a metal mesh grill for my preface... i think the metal mesh looks far better than the standard badge less grill (if that makes sense to anyone haha)

This is identical to my irmscher grill, looks good, its about time someone did an irmscher copy, at a fraction of the price aswell.
Get the irmscher logo badge and hey presto

Yep, super glue will do the job, on the rear of the badge there is a cut out that pushes onto the fins of the grill

Got me one of these of ebay to.

Dont have any issues with it being off ebay, just as good on the car, identical to irmscher grill for which you're only paying for the badge mainly (name), and at a fraction of the price, why not.
