thaicbr Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 i would imagine a decent sheet metal shop would be able to fabricate one for you.. Mind you i think it looks shit... i know you weren't asking just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) zaw 4x4 sell them and they are 10,000b, beware they are made from wood though and very poor quality. Edited August 19, 2013 by Spoonman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kartman Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 zaw 4x4 sell them and they are 10,000b, beware they are made from wood though and very poor quality. For that price should it not say SUCKER as it would be more value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you i think it looks shit... i know you weren't asking just saying.Hi I would think they could fabricate a logo to stick on the old grill which would look shit, im after a complete grill in chrome which looks in my eyes much better than a standard grill .seen them on websites but all sold out so must be popular?

kwak250 Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 But they do sell them as a complete replacement or at least not just the logo . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 But they do sell them as a complete replacement or at least not just the logo . No they do not. You remove the 3 horizontal pieces from your existing grille (Top one says Ranger/Middle has the Ford Badge/Bottom is blank) and these attach with a couple of self tapping screws to the remainder of the OE grille.

kwak250 Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 There are 2 versions your talking about the cheaper version they do have complete grill which you remove the whole unit and replace with a complete grill there are no self tapping screws to mess about with .either way I would still be happy to purchase the cheaper one which sold at 4, 000 baht but out of stock till end of next month.The decent full version is around 7, 500 but also out of stock. Anyone who sees these for sale let me know many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The one pictured above is the full version (V1) and it is 100% definitely not a complete grille. Anywho good luck in your endevour to purchase one, I await you response complaining it is made from wood and requires self tapping screws to attach it to the existing OE grille. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonman Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Ive got a qoute here from Zaw for 10,000b, seems they have gone 2000b in a month, and the email also says the material is poly wood, same as the ones made on Phuket. Can you give me details one where to buy a complete grille made in fibreglass as well as the price. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-P1010 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app The ones I have seen and the ones being sold into australia have zero fibrglass content and are made in 3 pieces then glued together which not surpisingly the end break off as the glue joint fails. If this one the OP has purchased is infact 1 piece fiberglass and a full replacement grille I would be keen to buy one.

Ungabunga Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 this guy sells three different versions from 6,000 Baht but they're "plastwood" http://on.fb.me/1d1cikF One guy who was making them (in Songklha) got a warning from Ford regarding copyright infringement and was forced to stop doing them (or advertising atleast) - I should still have his email address,will check to see if theyre 1 piece jobbies.

Do they do a matte black wrap? I am still thinking of doing ALL my brightwork in Gunmetal Blue but need a new back bumper first since mine has a major ding. If I get a tow package, I would probably just do without the dinged back bumper anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Black wrap is quite popular.....the other option is PlastiDip,will cost about the same,but still hard to find here.I just found some(hopefully) reliable source of this stuff,so let me know,if you interested....but I'm in CM...
