    Question V Grill or not V Grill ?

    What are your opinions on the Vauxhall 'V ' grill, take it out and replace it or leave well alone?

    I voted "whip it out", but the prices of these grilles are extortionate!

    I bet Mr Irmscher lives in a big house.
    Prior to my current car I did own a VX, honest.

    Whip it out Nick. Never liked the V-grill much on MK4's. Irmscher / Steinmetz / Kamai grills looks loads better! Loads mroe aggressive!

    I just got an Irmscher grille on ebay for less than £50, so I'm pretty happy at the mo.

    V Grille

    Definetly looks better out specially on the Astra.

    Vectras are good as well as long as u got the cross hatch grille on the lower spoiler to match.

    Might be expensive but u need to pay for quality looks !!

    Out, I have seen the same car with the same done, take out, it looks better. It seems to make such a difference to the front by doing such a little mod.

    Get it removed

    I see on the drink drive advert on the TV that they use a Mk4 astra with the V grill removed. Looks better.

    I noticed that too Andy, similar to the way Blue Peter used to tape to the manufacturer name on junk they used make stuff from when it was blatantly obvious what it was.

    Yeah, look better without it though, got one on order
