Love those GT Juniors, they look nicely balanced in the 'ring pics.

How modified are they from standard?

Mound, continuing on from a thread I have on AROC at the moment. I am changing my single light grille to a double on my Junior. I like the look of the mesh style on the inner lamps on that close up shot of the Giulia Super grille. Do you sell or can one buy that mesh ready done for the inner lamp or do I have to get it made up do you think?

Most of the cars in the pictures are quite heavily modified.

The green car has a two litre Nord (old single plug engine) with about 160bhp. Same applies to the white stepfront. Suspension has been reworked with various versions of our handling kits as have the brakes.

The two red cars have twinspark engines with 198bhp in the lhd car with the white strip on the nose and 215bhp in the all red one which is our "demonstrator". The lhd car has a watts linked rear axle.

The 2000 GTV with the race circles is a customer car, don't know much about it other than it has a Nord engine (again around 160bhp).

The Giulia Spider has around 120-130 bhp I think (it's a 1600).

The black 75 is my car. The Caterham is a Superlight R with a 1.8 K series.

That's about the lot...

JimmyJam. We do a mesh grille kit for the 1750/2000 four headlight setup-looks like this- The car in the picture has GTA lower grilles and you can have the "egg timer" panels between the headlights in mesh too.

Thanks Mound, those grilles are very nice. I was thinking more of the grille mesh on the inner light ring of the silver Giulia Super below. Guess its fairly easy to manufacture but easier to buy from you guys if you stock!?

The grille we sell has a polished stainless steel surround so would be difficult to reproduce at home. Yes, you'd probably be better buying one!
