You mean this one? I thought you'd not noticed :wink:

It's an Irmscher fibreglass one that I got over at one time. Not in a very good condition, but I thought I'd check it out for a change. The holes didn't line up with anything already there, so I had to make some extra holes. I'd meant to attach a chrome Blitz to it, but forgot to bring one down for the show.

I'm not convinced it is an improvement - what do you think? Maybe needs to be body colour?

It reminds me of a Kadett GSI grill.

Same grill as mine in my GSE,they are really hard to find,personly i think it they are in car colour...They look better than the onces in a stock Monza.

The ungly original 15 inche wheels are off my Monza and 18 inche M something wheels from BMW took place..

But to be totally honest, I think a Monza NEEDS a set of Borbets. It was just meant to be.

Similar concept to what mine will be, but mine will be red. :)

I actually showed that picture to my panel-shop guys a while ago, and they thought we should add the Commodore tail-lights as shown there.
