what grill was that??

timtheenchanteruk · Jun 28, 2013

Just seen a fender with a rather nice grill.

It was a bit like the heritage grill, but a proper series style woven mesh as opposed to punched.

Im thinking it may have been a stage one grill, but cant find a decent pic of one, I really liked it, unlike every other aftermarket grill Ive seen, it suited the fender and wasnt too blingy, but will give better protection that the current bit o placcie

any ideas??

WMIK grill?

Sounds like a stage one grill:

the above is actually a repro in stainless but near enough the same

twas a stage one grill, might have to get me one of those, all the other aftermarkets are too blingy, the stage one one looks just right

I'd love one on mine but couldn't find one for sensible money. Instead I got a Land Rover WMIK grill (do a google search) which is all metal, and a genuine (albeit military) part

Having said that if you've got a bit of patience making yourself a stage one reproduction isn't terribly difficult..

Fancied a Stage-1 grill on my 90 and although I got one for a very decent price I eventually decided not to fit it and fitted a Nakatanenga Herritage style one instead.
Many years ago someone was doing a very nice grill using interwoven SS mesh and a SS pressed surround. It wasn't cheap and I haven't seen them available for a long time now but if they ever became available again I would definately get one as they were such a nice piece of kit. I guess they were just too expensive for many people and weren't viable to make which is a real shame.
There are cheaper (read naff) options out there but this one was really nice.
