    SWB engine grills from SMC?

    Can you comment on the quality of the reproduction SWB (901.559.041.21) engine grill from Sierra Madre Collection?
    Would you consider it Concours quality?

    Thanks, Steve

    I think Jim just reviewed your post and though "horn grills". In fact I would probably recommend that you contact Marek directly for an engine grill, or get an original off of Ebay and have it restored. You could also have Gary take a look at the Lit meet for one (if I give him a break to look for it...).

    Hi Eric,

    Who are the sources to restore these grills? I heard CPR did, but doesn't anymore. Supposedly the recommended a Porsche Classics version which I can't find online. I'm not positive on that however.

    Thanks!

    I have access to a number of SWB engine lid grills and I'm thinking of restoring them as a new addition to my services. I'll know more in a few days and post a separate thread.

    Thanks,
