TS50 T3 Grille & Lower Grille Mesh with Tickford Logo

[KidRod4]

Hi, does anybody know if the Inner section of the T3 Top Grille was separate from main bumper mould? (as in a bolt on part) The aftermarket fibreglass bumpers you can buy on Ebay are all one piece but looking at photos of the T3, it appears to be bolt in separate part? If they are separate, does anybody know where the heck I might get one? Also, does anybody know where I can get a T3 lower grille mesh that has the Tickford logo?

hey the series 1 bumpers are a 2 part job and series 2 and 3 are one piece.. what are you looking to put it on/with...?

i have an S2 Forte with a havoc top grille and an S1 TS50 Lower Bar. I have no idea where you would find the mesh with the tickford logo on it.. i assume it would be pretty much a rare item..

I got the front bar from Fibresports and got it painted locally http://www.awcinfo.com//secureshop/c...php?cat_id=224

Thanks for that info, looks like Im going to have to custom make one myself. Love the front on your car, looks awesome! I have a fibresports front bar also, but for the XR. They call it an XR50 bar. Im trying to do something a bit different, so Ive put the same bonnet on it that you have, but of course the grille doesn't fit in the space that remains. Ill post some pics once I've come up with something.

yeah i saw those xr50 bars. they look really good! and yeah the xrs dont really have that top spot for a grille the way the others do.. good luck with it i hope you work something out and i'll be very interested to see

That is actually a T3 lower bar.

Chazza had some lazer cut for his old T1. You could ask him?

To answer your question yes the Inner Section of the top T3 Grille is separate from the bar. Lets call it a frame. It is held in by some metal spring clips that are missing in the pics below which is why you can see a gap along the bottom edge (same as the ones that hold T3 sideskirts to the bottom edge of the sill panel).And by two brackets. The metal grill is held to the frame by screws. One of the brackets in the pic has been hand made

Here is a few pics from a car that sustained previous damage (not one of mine)

Hey thank you for those pics, that really helps! I thought that inner frame section was separate! Any ideas where I might get one? They seem to be pretty rare!
