Thank you for the info btmaldon. I contacted Allen Ford and the have put an auction for that at 44.95 + 7.95 P&P. They have over 10 available, so if anyone else is interested, go grab one. (don't rush, i haven't bought mine yet!)

In our communication, they mentioned something about a chrome one, and i am wondering if they also sell the German version that someone mentioned in another topic. I did not care to ask...

Please see my lower grill fitting guide and download the pdf version,
In the pdf version is the part numbers for each specific grill so you can go to ford and ask for the part directly.

This is the chrome lower grill.



This is the zetec S lower grill (custom gloss black)
Germany released a latvala version of the grill in 2008 with some chrome rings around the honeycombe sections.
No longer available from ford and very rare.



This is standard grill

As it turns out, i was right to be afraid of my local dealer. They are selling it for £55, while even if i were to buy it with P&P, i would pay £53 from eBay.

Since my annual service is coming up, I will probably check with other dealers as well, to get the best quote.

ask for discount... Every dealer is able to give a discretionary 10%

Im in similar circumstances myself mate,
My ford dealership is 72 miles away from me, and for me to order a part they require cash payment prior to order.
So that would mean me driving a round trip of 144miles to pay for somthing, then drive another 144miles to collect it lol

Its easier and cheaper for me to purchase parts from fordpartsuk.com
Shipped direct to my door and orderd from the comfort of my home.

Needless to say, my dealer always looks surprised when i bring it down for a service and comments on the extra parts, asking where i bought from lol.

What's the difference between the Titanium upper grill and the Zetec S upper grill?

Is there any substantial difference at all?

i believe that the Zetec S Grille is just slanted more at a downwards angle....
