From what I can see, the difference between Belmont, Kingswood, Premier, GTS and Sandman is the colour they are painted and the badging.

Belmont, Holden appear to be the plain grey moulded plastic .... Kingswood, Premier are painted silver ... GTS, Sandman are painted black. (exc. HQ)

I have heard rumours that the GTS and Sandman grills were actually moulded in black plastic but I am yet to see an actual black plastic grill... if anyone has a black grill that is actually black plastic could you please post up some pictures of it.

will take a pic. tomoz when it is lighter...but our two Vans have the black piece being plastic. One is broken (red Van) so can even send a little sample to you if you need it....I bought a new grille from a wrecker here, it was from Rares...it was metal, and we have to paint it black.....

If you are not going to use the black grill off the red HZ can I buy it off you? I am interested to see one moulded from black plastic and am interested in seeing if a broken one can be successfully repaired so yours would be perfect.

absinth you can just have it....Rodney said he thinks it could easily be plastic welded back together..it could even be glued noone would know....but you are good with that sort of thing and would do a good job...the surround (chrome) is also bent...previous owner hit a bird.....you are in brisbane I have a friend who's daughter just had a baby and is off up there so can send it up with her...they are in Morayfield.....if that suits.

Thanks Jennie that would be great. I am on the South side but head up around Morayfield quite often for work so can arrange a time to pick it up. Much appreciated, it will be an interesting project.
