I'm buying an AU3 traytop, and it will be proudly a workhorse, but with maybe a couple of subtle styling touches. I really like Hawk grilles. I can only find 2 suppliers on the web: Fibrefab list a hawk grille for series 1 & 2 ($140.00). I emailed and was informed they will not fit series 3. The Spoilershop lists one for series 1 ($275) <splutter> I didn't contact them. Finally, there's a fleabay listing for a Venom grille that claims to fit AU 1,2 or 3. So. Can anyone please clarify the interchangability of AU grilles? In particular XL utes. (I don't know if they're different from base model sedans.) Many thanks.

OK, The grilles that will fit depend on the bonnet. All AU1 Forte & Futura sedans and wagons, and all AU1, AU2 & AU3 utes plus all AU1, 2 & 3 XRs had what is referred to as the "low series bonnet". So, the Hawk grille will fit any ute, so will the venom one. IMO, the Hawk is the pic of the bunch (apart from the C2R grill).

That is good news. Thanks, JC. I will politely inform Captain Plastic of his error. Do you mind if I quote you?
