Sparetyre Neutral Newbie February 15, 2002 Share February 15, 2002 Greetings, Wishing everyone a happy CNY. Had been asking around regarding the "mesh wire" type front grille but to no avail. Can someone let me know where can I find it? I am attaching a picture to explain what I meant. Those that are pointed by the red arrows are the grille that I am looking for. BTW, I am driving a 2001 Galant VRG. Thanks in advance. sport_grille.bmp ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vr_geek Neutral Newbie February 15, 2002 Share February 15, 2002 Hello, brudder.... Welcome to My Car Forum... Me also driving a 2001 Galant VRG...... So what colour is your car? Must meet up for kopi one of these days man! For the wire mesh, either you change it into a VR4 bodykit, or you DIY it, by purchasing the wire mesh from the hardware stores...... Hope to see ya online more often.... Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie February 15, 2002 Share February 15, 2002 Try Lye Design at AMK Autopoint. He's at Level 4, first shop on the left. He does custom mesh grilles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparetyre Neutral Newbie February 15, 2002 Author Share February 15, 2002 Hi !! It's really nice to meet another Galantian here in MCF. According to C&C's catalog, the colour of my car is "Trigger Mauve". However, according the vehicle log card, it is "Purple" in colour. How about yours? Kopi is not a problem. And maybe you can share with me what you have done to your car. I have no intention to change to a VR-4 bodykit and DIY is out as I am out of town most of the time. Anyway, thanks for the response! Regards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparetyre Neutral Newbie February 15, 2002 Author Share February 15, 2002 Greetings, Maybe I will pay them a visit this coming Monday. BTW, do you know roughly how much it will cost? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vr_geek Neutral Newbie February 15, 2002 Share February 15, 2002 Mine is a Black one...... Mine is stock, except with some little surgery here and there. Well, how has your performance been? What about the fuel consumption and power specifically? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie February 15, 2002 Share February 15, 2002 No sure about pricing, should be around $80 odd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabiaman 1st Gear February 15, 2002 Share February 15, 2002 Most bodykit shops shld have that in stock. Eg. Boom Trading in Defu - look for Belinda. If not, try Z3 or Z4 (cannot remember which) at Eunos (I think its Ave 7) in the industrial area next to the SIngapore Post Centre. They charge abt $80 to get wire mesh fixed up. Problem is that they need to cut your existing stock grille and put up the wire type. I didnt like the idea of cutting up my stock grilles - hence, I hunted for " whole set" type. My car pics are at the CAR SHOWROOM in Mycarforum http://www.mycarforum.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=354 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparetyre Neutral Newbie February 16, 2002 Author Share February 16, 2002 Greetings, Thanks for the response too! Will checkout Boom Trading on Monday, if time permits. Will give Z3 or Z4 a pass as I am also not keen to have my stock grille "cut". Regards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparetyre Neutral Newbie February 16, 2002 Author Share February 16, 2002 Sorry, can share how much you pay for the griller? How about the installation and painting? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantt70 Neutral Newbie February 16, 2002 Share February 16, 2002 Cut up the original grille? Yuks! I did ask the bodykit shop in Outram before (beside Dynasty Audio) and the lady said the same - cut the grille and fix up a new mesh.... sounded like a messy job to me!

Sparetyre Neutral Newbie February 19, 2002 Author Share February 19, 2002 Greetings, Went to AMK Autopoint, AMK AutoCare, Sin Ming, Defu and still did not manage to find the mesh wire grille. Lye Design (as recommended by Turbobrick) told me that they don't have. Also checked with Creative Sports and they also told me they don't have one for Galant. BTW, I did not manage to find Boom Trading in Defu. Fabiaman, care to share their address or telephone number? Thanks and wish me luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie February 19, 2002 Share February 19, 2002 BOOM Trading 91, Defu Lane 10 #01-05 Swee Hin Building Tel: 2544566 Lye didn't want to do a custom one for U? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadblock Neutral Newbie February 19, 2002 Share February 19, 2002 Heard so much abt Lye Design, aint they just panel beaters? Panel beaters got do cosmetic mods meh? Yes, Boom might have, they have quite a lot of stock.. only thing I heard is that they do not install as the sale girl told me - but I do occasionally see them installing spoilers... you better confirm with them.

Sparetyre Neutral Newbie February 19, 2002 Author Share February 19, 2002 Greetings, Thanks again Turbobrick! Always have to trouble you Maybe I don't drive a Volvo, that's why (Just kidding) Maybe business is too good and they have no time for small deal like this (saw 2 WRXes waiting for plastic surgery). Will try Boom Trading again tomorrow. Really want to settle this before going back to India (officially on MC now) Regards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabiaman 1st Gear February 19, 2002 Share February 19, 2002 Yes its at Defu Lane 10 as stated by Tbrick. You might look out for the unit number since you cannot see the big words BOOM TRADING from the road that you are entering from. 2 sides to the building, when you enter, its a food canteen and drive further in, you will most likely see a electric blue WRX with golden rims (i think its owned by someone there) and there you go - Boom Trading. Try to look for Belinda and tell her the guy who did the sunroof with his Fiat Uno last year and now driving a small Skoda recommended you (hopefully that helps). She is friendly - if she do not have what you need, suggest you ask whether she can import for you and if not, ask where can you find it. Wish you luck!

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie February 19, 2002 Share February 19, 2002 Your welcome! Hope U find all U need from Boom. India???? Tell me it's a business trip only ok? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
