is a supra suposed to have a grill? done a google search and seen

my first thought was ooohhh that looks nice, but my 2nd was does it need an unresticted airflow to cool the beast under the bonnet.

i honestly have no idea spent £100 save on a stone mashing radiator or save £100 at the risk of engine overheating

help me please

Stock supra's do not have a grill.

The AC rad is infront of the main rad so they take all the damage from stones, etc. With airflow it's generally considered best practice to keep it stock unless adding an FMIC or aftermarket bumper.

does look good though

A bit of mesh wont hurt the airflow, my cars double meshed with this in the bumper and a finer mesh infront of the intercooler and ive no problems even on very hot sunny days.

Zun Sport mesh seems to be a popular choice on here, looks good too.

I was thinking of getting a zun sport grill for my preface bumper. I personally think the preface bumper looks unfinished or odd without a grill. The face lift bumper looks good. Just think the preface needs something there.

Think I will be buying a grill when I get my car back from the sprayers.

The facelift Supra has a cross piece in the central bumper opening. You can buy thee brand new from Toyota, they're not too expensive, come colour coded and just need a couple of holes drilling to fit them.

hmm interesting, don't suppose you have the part number do you?

The part numbers vary depending on the colour, sorry I don't have the Toyota EPC here to check.

yeah that defiantly looks a lot better then just an open grill in my opinion.

Is it both parts that you can get from Toyota.

The middle black post and then the long post across the mouth of the grill?

It's all one piece, all the same colour from memory.

Someone get me a part number

Mesh is a better option as it protects from stones and other debris fly up off the road so is functional, its all about looks with you guys:)

Mine was fitted for saving the intercooler that cost over £1000, it does also look very good so its a double whammy

Probly but who cares

I think a well made mesh enhances the stock bumper and affords protection.

Sorry, thought this was a BBQ thread.....
