Great spec and great looking car , nappa leather always seems to wear better than Dakota



PS is that radiator grille std?

[RiDDO]

Thanks for the comments guys! He drives as good as he looks too! 34.4mpg as wel, quite chuffed! A couple of niggles to sort CD changer u/s, and my steering wheel plastic not getting replaced! Grr

Woofer - as far as I'm aware the grille is standard, but bear in mind my car was built July '06 and may have odd stuff out of the parts bins!!!

If referring to the kidney grilles then they are the titanium ones off the likes of the '4.8is' model. Quite expensive from the dealers.

Thanks Raj, yes the reference was for my kidney grilles! I must admit, but don't tell everyone, I'm quite taken with them too!!!!!!!

They are a nice alternative to standard chrome ones but for me personally not a fan, hence selling mine off and colourcoding the surrounds with gloss black slats.

Also you can get matching ones for the top of the bonnet too.

Congrats on the purchase buddy, nice example! But it is gold and you need to be an Indian to own one!

You Indian!?! If not, hand it over or get a nice velour tissue box cover in the parcel please, (you know, the dark green with gold piping, please). )

And a Mercedes badge.

The matching titanium grilles for the bonnet above the scuttle panel (house the washer jets for the windscreen) retail from the dealers at £43+VAT each but can get them for £35+VAT each if you would like a pair. Otherwise keep an eye on eBay as they will come up from time to time.
