Seeking a pair of the D shape plastic grill sections.

Do you mean the air vents on the rear section by the rear quarter light window?

I think it's these guys:

'Front corner grilles' according to Canleys, available to order. Part number 715863 / 715864. Sometimes on eBay, but not at present.

Will keep an eye out and advise if any appear; if you're in a hurry try Chic Doig.

I made my own out of aluminium. Not that hard to do. I could not find any anywhere at the time.

Well never knew these existed, my GT6 came without.

Noticed Paddock's have them for £37 plus P&P.

Learnt something new, cheers.

Danny, out of interest how did you make them, attach a "U" shape metal to a backing plate or welded find to a plate.

Colin thanks for the recommendation. The actual number we use for these is;

However ignore the advertised price for the time being until the next website update. Good news though as I've just reviewed the price, and unusually in this day and age I've actually reduced it to  £32.29 inc VAT for the pair.

Thanks for the excellent diagrams which actually helped me find them...  Not the first time, neither!

Poor old Joe who spent over 6 months scanning in all the factory parts books, and then making them interactive for our on-line catalogue. I watched all the life drain out of him!

I made the D shape then braised the ridges on. Painted black they look like the original.  And much cheaper.
