Anybody any ideas how to recreate something similar to this for the grill of a haynes?

[chrisponter]

Take a look at the link below, the bloke who makes them sells them on ebay, but does custom ones aswell.

[K4KEV]

There you go Chris ...that 3 up to now why not try for a few more for a greater discount on a group buy;)

[Deanno]

here you go:
Martin Townsend

martinptownsend@aol.com
tell him Dean (Help for Heroes Grill) sent you

[ozzy1]

I would be interested in the roadster logo one also. Let me know and I can supply uk address if req. I

[deezee]

I'll jump onboard, to get it up to five, if we can get a discount. Who exactly is organising this? At the moment its not too clear?

[baz-r]

i could be up for one if we have a price

[Deanno]

When I had my grill made I sent him a template of my nose cone, but I would advise if anybody else gets one done to send in a template of your nose cone as my nose was a second from saturn and was slightly bigger than normal.
He made mine on the thursday and I had it saturday morning, he makes them in work in his spare time I think.
as i said before tell him Dean with the "Help for Heores" grill put you in touch and I'm sure he will do the same deal.

Regards
Dean

Ok guys since nobody has taken the helm...I will do it....I have emailed Martin and he is up for it at £35 a grill posted.....which I think is bloody good value
I think the best way to go is if I collect monies via paypal (as a gift) and will then send total to Martin along with individual addresses for him to send out
So I shall start a list here and if you can ppal £35.00GBP but please remember to add a postal address in the message bit or use same addy to let me know the postal address to have it sent to.
can we all take some measurements to compare so that we get a good average then if mine is the same as everybody else's I will send him the profile

Sorry I want one with a 7 logo, could you remove me from the list.

[SeriesLandy]

Don't buy a caterham one they are way too small!

[Deanno]

he has the 7 logo and all he needs to do is alter the outer size to fit the roadster.

[alga]

I like the 7 logo as well, but it's a logo designed by Chapman himself specifically for Caterham. It feels kinda like putting the prancing horse on a fake Ferrari. But it does not mean I'm determined not to do it ;-)

P.S. I'm pretty sure the RoadSter logo was designed by Chris Gibbs himself, so it's quite fitting. When the name of the car celebrates the publisher, we can give homage to the designer by proudly using his logo on the grill ;-)

[baz-r]

my design consultent (wife) likes the look of the grill and i was just about to pay then i had a think

how this is it approx, whats it made of (stainless?) and has anyone had any iva issues ? as i think it would be subject to forward facing radius checks.

[K4KEV]

Yes it is stainless....Deano had no issues for fitting his "help the heros"
fit it post IVA

[deezee]

Sent the money this morning. Can't wait!

[K4KEV]

OK thats everyone paid up except vmax who I believe is dropping in with cash......anyone else? last chance as I will be contacting Martin tomorrow.

[Deanno]

Yes it is stainless....Deano had no issues for fitting his "help the heros"
fit it post IVA

my car has not gone for IVA yet but will be putting a mesh one on to be safe then after i'll put the Help for heroes grill in place

[carlknight1982]

Ill have one please mate, drop me a U2U with paypal details,

Carl

[ozzy1]

Paypal details on page 2 .

[K4KEV]

Not any more ozzy:D
Ok peeps I paid Martin today and he will let me know when he can get them all into the post and I will then post up here
Dave (vmax) yours will be coming to mine so keep an eye on here.

[K4KEV]

Martin sent the grills out yesterday so peeps should be getting them today or tomoz:D :D

[K4KEV]

my 2 just received so yours is here Dave....and of course a couple of photos
I have to say they will be a very good fit within the nose aperture.

[tkpm]

Terry

[baz-r]

i dont think its iva ok mind so its staying off the car for now :rolleyes:

[vmax1974]

Will pop over tomorrow and get mine if thats ok kev

[K4KEV]

bout what time bud....morn or aft?

[vmax1974]

Afternoon about 1ish

[K4KEV]

that will do

[tkpm]

Though i would post a picture of my Roadster logo fitted to my nose cone.
1448
It looks better in the flesh, the logo is behind black mesh for IVA, but will be put in front post IVA.

Terry

[Tatey]

Terry, where did you get your black mesh from?

[tkpm]

I got it from b&q then sprayed it with four coats of satin black hammerite.

Terry

[alga]

Finally I got mine, too:

[Spikehaus]

Finally got round to fitting the grill, looks good I think with a bit of stainless mesh to keep the IVA man happy.:)

LOL, I dibated as to painting the roadster grill for contrast agaist the mesh, but it seems a waste to paint the stainless. As said in previous posts, its looks much better in reality than in a photo. LEDS sound to close to another requirement for running lights....
