time to replace my cracked, warped grill! Where can I find a saudi grill? Anyone mess with these? I searched some old threads, but not much luck in sourcing these things...

I occasionally see then on eBay. But be prepared to shell out 3-400 bucks. IMHO it's not worth the cool factor. I've seen a few home made ones too
Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=150819465907

Yup. That's what I was looking for. I'll have to search under "warm climate grill". Thanks.
I'm not excited about shelling out mucho $$$$. Hell, for that much, I guess I could spec one out and have one made at the fabricators out of aluminum....hmmmm...now i'm thinking.. Just got to get the wife on board....

Show her the price of the warm climate grill first, then make your case for how much you can save the other way you want to go

I've been thinking...an aluminum grill would be stupid, cuz if somebody parked their car in front of my truck all the sudden....instead of crunchy grille plastic...crunchy radiator/front clip?

I know this is an old thread, but I just stumbled on it. I have a factory Saudi grille that I had on my Disco 1 (97). I sold the car with the original grill. I kept the Saudi along with a bunch of other parts, with the thought I'd get another disco in the future. Now, I have, but it's an LR3. If anyone is still looking for a factory Saudi grille, PM me. I'm not looking to make a killing, I'll entertain reasonable offers. It's doing me no good just hanging on my garage wall.
