And everyone buys a debadge grill, sometimes putting an Irmscher 'I' or silhouette on it?

Well I stumbled across this, which could be a bit different for the debadge grill.

There's no picture, and my recollection of a Steinmetz grill is vertical as well as horizontal slats.

Is it me or will it just look wank and tacky on a debadge grill?

Well I presume it'll just be the Steinmetz rectangle badge.

I know that putting Irmscher badges on badgeless grills is pretty much widely accepted now, but would putting Steinmetz badge on badgeless grill be sacrilege? It's just I have never seen it done before...may be it is the £17 inc delivery cost.

Talking of Steinmetz grills. Does this look right at the bottom, or are all the clips etc broken off?

No, they are good for the mantle piece, but not on your car

No, I didn't mean the badge. I meant the whole thing.

To me it looks like there should be another horizontal slat?! Compare that to a standard debadge grill:

Yup - out bid already. £25, no paying over £30 when I'm on a budget anyway.

It will have ended on more than that. Someone probably made the seller an offer to end early
