Saudi Grille
Do any of you have a Saudi Grille on your Disco? Is it metal or metal/plastic? Do you have any pictures that you can send me?
Can you tell me what you paid for it?
Thanks, Mike

RE: Saudi Grille
I wish. Saw one a few months ago on ebay but it looked pretty worn. Not sure why someone hasn't started making those again, very cool look and someone could make a nice chunk of change selling them.

RE: Saudi Grille
A bunch of guys on www.discoweb.org bought some from the UK. Do a search, I think they paid like $100 per grill, shipping was more than the grill though. They bulk shipped and shared the cost.

It's part of a aftermarket kit called the GULF Campaigne.
I was one of the guinea pigs for it back in Saudi in 98'. It's not just a grill though. The entire kit is made up of a bigger capacity radiator, bigger fan shroud, 120 amp alternator, new plastic fittings all over the place and a plastic type skid pan to go underneath the radiator.
The purpose of the kit was to improve both engine cooling and the air conditioning performance. 100% of the air going through the grill is therefore uterlised into cooling....and very effective it is too!
Simmonittes in the UK make a sports grill similar to the Saudi one but it's just for show. The actual grills themselves are worth a packet now...and even out here in the Gulf I am always looking for them in the breakers yards for people like yourself who want them.
