Its a TH grille with the chrome GDI inserts from an NZ model Diamante, they are around 30NZ each and expect pay 40 bucks or so to get it here from a wrecker.

couldnt you just get a TF grille and buy the badging for it if you wanted the GDI bad enough?

I think and i may be wrong its more about the chrome mesh part that the bages are attached to

ahh i see, so its a different type of mesh all together?
guess getting one in would be easier then than just finding that sort of mesh and going through colour coding etc in the end

Closest Aussie equivalent is a TH Altera grille.

Could just get a normal TH grille, paint it and whack some decent non-ricey mesh (if thats possible :P) in it.

In that case, look in to making a TH letterbox grille.

I put a TH grille and bumper on the front of my old TF and it looks like the same thing just not chromed... I later sprayed the grille and such white which worked well also (imo)

I would assume trying to get a grille like the one you pictured might be a little difficult... maybe try and get creative like DVS or someone... dare to be different! :P

I was just about to say that.
Its identical to my grille except for the gdi badge.

removing the red diamonds looks pretty good, my grille is due for a paint, might consider it

The reason for the Altera Grille is that its colour coded whereas an Exec grille is boring grey.

But if your painting it anyway then a Exec grille will do fine.

yep, the mesh is even the same pattern, just exec is black, altera is chrome

looking at that GDI grille, the mesh is also the same as the Altera
