View Full Version : "Normal" Mk1 grill same as GTE/Sr??
What a noooob question lol
Basically, ive got a plain plastic mk1 front grill, it has no bages on it, just straight slats. Is it same as a SR/GTE grill, bar not being colour coded to the car???

'Normal' Mk1 grill has a central badge built into it
SR/GTE grill is plain slatted but has like a swedge line built into the plastic casing of the grill if that makes sense
no mate, the merit grille is different from the sr/gte grille, take a look at mowglis.
I THINK the grill i have looks like this, but without the badge. I assume someones just removed the badge on the one i have?

edit now working, that's a merit one. if it's the one i gave you i'm sure that was an sr one.

Could have just cut the slats out as the badge is moulded into the slats
That one, is moulded in, yours is most likely a GTE/SR one.
edit: SR ones weren't colour coded afaik.

I was going to say that but couldn't think how to put it lol
No idea which mine is then lol
I'll have another look tomorrow. It definently has no badge, and hasnt had anything cut/modded on it.
Just some random grill i found in the parents back garden lol lol
If the slats are black and the grill is a two-piece (i.e. the slats are bonded to the surround), its an SR grill.
If the slats and surround are all moulded into one, its a poverty spec grill.
Also, as vaughan said, the SR/GTE one has a swage line across the top.
GTE is the same as SR, just a colour coded surround.
