TR4Geoff Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Due to a most unfortunate event, I'm looking for an original Stanpart Grille. Has anyone got one loafing around in their Garage/ Cheers Geoff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rcreweread Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Geoff - try these people who are probably the manufacturer of the grill Moss supply: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/britebritbitz/TR4-TR2-3/_i.html?store_cat=1500862 Quite reasonably priced in my opinion Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
openroad Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Hi Geoff, I reckon i can help you out with a good used one. Let me know if you are interested and need pics . Conrad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR4Tony VC Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Hi Sorry to hear that you need one ! Remember that the new ones are about 1/4 inch bigger all round than the originals, so you need to shape the bodywork around it otherwise the it interferes and scratches the paint off. Just spent some hours on this myself. Regards Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR4Geoff Posted June 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) Hi Conrad, I am very interested in your offer. We could exchange E addresses for pics etc. Many thanks Geoff Edited June 2, 2022 by TR4Geoff Delete telephone number Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hi Geoff, I would remove the phone number if I was you. Send Conrad a PM Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR4Geoff Posted June 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hi Roger, Good advice, I know. For one reason and another, I don't think I've been on the Forum since it was updated, so I'm on a learning curve, but we're getting there! I've looked at the Grilles on ebay, unfortunately they're not worth pursuing and the modern versions don't fit! Hopefully I will do business with Conrad. Don't know if you heard on the local TR grapevine, but in early April I "lost" the very front of the "4" due to inept driving by a Third Party. Bonnet, Bumper, Front Panels, Grille, Rad, Oil Cooler, O/S wing & Inner Wing all gone, Wheel Arch assembly damaged but saveable. Current estimate £17K with Rees Bros. The positive news is that the "new" Wings and Bonnets seem to fit pretty well. All the best Geoff PS. The Third Party's Insurers admitted liability within 48 hours!

TR4Geoff Posted June 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hi Tony, These new Grilles are very disappointing, as you say, they are too big and there are other problems, hence my quest for a Stanpart original. 5VC is looking good - any ETA yet?

rcreweread Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Geoff - If you are looking for a TR4 front bumper and overriders and would be interested in an uprated alloy rad, drop me a PM as I can definitely help you Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Geoff Hi Geoff Soon I hope … wiring is a challenge and a few frustrating issues with new parts (no sh1t I hear you say !) but it’s getting there. Three other half built cars in the air too, so only myself to blame but found some great people to help over the last few years so all should be done this year.
