hi stuc

you can ask buddy - no probs

will you need to lacquer it after

but I would certainly be interested

have you got a spare to play with

then do a swap ?

cheers

stuc

as your a body man

is it possible for you to create a rip speed grill

just leave the outer and mesh the inside - also carbon wrapped - ( not the grill bit )

if not - a wrapped grill is fine

Does he do wrapping ..??

Wrapping is a lot different to hydro dipping ..

The finished 'strength' of dipping is only as strong as the lacquer used

I see what I did there

a dipped grill will be fine !! - if a mesh one cannot be sorted

as long as it gets the lacquer after -

£45-£50 quid for grill start to finish for hydro dipped inc. laquer.
I've never done a ripspeed grill before, if anyone has a spare going I would give it a go.
I agree it has to be a decent laquer but the dip is etched into the basecoat with an activator and was surprisingly durable as I had to flat a bit down, it was like paint on the surface, amazing process!

this one is my grill - this is what I want - similar to madza speed ( not rip speed )

a few members have cut the inners out and done their own

is this something you could do - and then get dipped

if it is - let me know

andy

I would give it a go, I don't have a spare grill, has anyone got one to donate, even if its broken in the middle, it's getting cut out anyway.

Put them on today, 235/50/R18 101W tyres on, fills the arch up nice, no rubbing, the ride feels a bit nicer than on the 225/45's and the speedo is spot on with the gpsI think that answers most of the questions.

After

Forgot to add the pic.

Andy, I'm on the case, a mate is looking to see if he has an old grill kicking about.
