Hey early girl lovers,
My VH has a crappy rare spares grill fitted and I'm bringing her back to original. Can anyone please advise if the genuine GM one has any markings or GM stamped on it with a part number and where it is located?
I found one on Gumtree and the guy could not find any markings?
Cheers,
Andrew

so what's wrong with the Rare Spares repros ?

I need a new grille for the SS, it's copped a few chunks out of it and the top screw holes have broken
I was considering the repros, didn't think they could go too wrong with a grille

Hey mate,

My repo grill from rare spares has faded in places, sure it fits ok but I guess I'm being fussy and wanna bring my VH back to compete original.

ok thanks
I will need to get mine painted anyway so fading shouldn't be an issue
I've been keeping an eye out for NOS, but haven't seen any come up

I have a new VC grille in the original box so I assume it's a genuine GMH grille, the only markings on it are on the back of the top panel, ABS GM-7-1. I assume the VH would have something similar.

Thanks mate for your reply. I went to a wreckers over the weekend and found one with no GM part number on it and no GM stamped on it and the guy tried to tell me its original as the non genuine ones do not have the chrome strip attached to it on the bottom as this one did. What a load of crap! Can someone please confirm a genuine VH grill has a GM part number located somewhere on it?
