Glad to help mate!!!!

With the greatest respect that is not a grille, it,s just pieces of chrome effect plastic you stick on.

Agree with Clare here....Paying that much for some strips of shinny plastic

I would spend a bit more and buy a billet grill...... seen some nice one's....take a look over at www.rav4world.com.... some of these guy's have them on there new shape RAV's (4.3)

Hi Paul,

Made a couple of phone calls seems the chrome trim is actually flexible plastic/chromed. The 05 Rav is a bit different to other 4.2's, one of the differences is the grille which has quite a broad horizontal bar in middle with a smaller one below.This would be the ideal one to change. Dont know if you have ever seen a Toyota Hi Lux Intimidator (bloody awesome kit) this has a lot of chrome add ons,one of which is the top of the grille.On the dark colours it looks A1. Have a look at WWW.pickupstyling.co.uk. (I think I'm becoming a boyracer 20 odd years too late).

Cheers,

Dave.

Chatman, any luck finding decent wind visors yet ?

Nop Dave.m Know there are two types. One's that stick to window rim and one's that go inside window channel...

Just looking on Fleabay and other sites at moment...Not in no rush.....

One thing I could do with though is a car cover...as the !Removed! tree I have to park under is shedding all its seeds and rubbish right onto my RAV..... Had to sweep out the front screen ducts this morning....it's just that one little bit caught under the blade that annoys me :ffs:

Blame global warning mate everybody else does. Re the wind visors, I've also been looking. I had some on that LR that you dislike. They were Climair type which fitted into window groove. But I allways found it alarming when window goes up and starts to bend when it hits the visor Dont fancy the sound of stick on ones either so I guess we are still looking.

Cheers,

Dave.

I don't dislike LR just never pay ££££ for one, I only owned one and it was in green and black paint.....when it broke just ditched it in the nearest bush and picked up another....when the Hercules dropped it off....... ;) ;) ;)

Found these gems....First is cheepo and the "SAME TIME LOOK WELL NICE." is a classic sellers line

Cheepo

Then there's these that stick on....

Stick On Type

As you say, I don't fancy the in window type either....

And keeping in line what this topic was about. Heres a link to the Billet Grille, that is better than the Chrome plastic strips....

Chatman,

Billet grille looks smart pity they dont include a piece to cover the main horizontal bar as mines got a little bit of damage/marks. (think it was a low flying seagull-25 points )

Cheers,

Dave.
