I Just got this grill upper and lower, they are in really good condition, maybe even new. the top bit was in a very well fitting plastic bag.
What would they be off and how would i know if they are after market or original?

They are made of black plastic, and the stainless is there, not the painted plastic "chrome" i have seen before.

Also the lower bit has silver overspray on it from the grilled bit..

HX Statesman. HZ are the same but painted differently, plus HZ Caprice is missing the top stainless mould and has a big, wider chromed alloy top mould that mounts separate to the grille. The one Ski-man put up is a HZ Deville, from memory every second bar is black. Also from memory HZ Caprice has every 3rd bar silver.
Those are quite a good looking grille with quad headlights. Standard HJ (or HX HOLDEN/Belmont) in silver with GTS badge probably looks the best with quad lights but there is no matching lower grille as with the Statesmans, so if you want a lower grille you probably have the best one there. HJ Statesman isn't bad either if painted right.
If you are planning to lower the van at all don't use the lower grille if it is in good condition, you'll break it eventually.
The lower grille is new too, that is how they look. I've got one or two at home new in boxes that I bought from Rares before they ran out.

Hey seems interesting. I think I'll put it on eBay. What should I list them as hx statsman grill upper and lower?

[HK1837]

HX/HX. No-one will really care, they'll paint as they wish.

What sort of $ do you want for them? I'd be interested, always like to keep spare good quality stuff in case I never need it.

shite, just had a look on the bay, this wouldn't be the same thing? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/holden-wb-hz-...#ht_500wt_1156 im assuming i should be able to fetch more than that for mine in new condition never fitted. I stumbled into that one! lol

please tell me you still have the HZ lower grille???????!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?! need asap

Keep your eye on Ebay, there are plenty around but go for good $. You could still buy them new until not that long ago, I bought one before they ran out and put it away in the shed.

I'm wondering if anyone would be able to assist me in fixing my lower grill. I want to get the measurements of the mounting tabs and the locations so I can get some made and plastic welded to my grill as I don't want to fit it to my project in the condition it's in now.

Photos would be great if possible.





Thankyou,
