I don't know what that means and it doesn't help me... thanks anyway.
If anyone has any useful information, I'd appreciate it.

I know what you are looking for. I tried to find one for a while, but I gave up. I think the only way is to custom make one. You have to buy a universal chrome mesh grille kit that looks similar and cut it to size. The only change is the chrome border that "Strut" grilles have. There is a chrome one on ebay now, but it's really not the same. Might work for you though.

Thanks, guys. Here is a pic of what I'm trying to find... something along these lines... with the holes a little bit bigger and also the verticle center line piece....



If anyone happens to know of a company that makes grills modeled after the Bentley style, please let me know!
I've been looking but can't find one.

Do you have any pics of it?
I'm really wanting the verticle center line...

I'm guessing it's plastic with a chrom finish, right?
I'd like to find one that is actual metal.

Yeah... I was just looking around and that's the conclusion I came to, but I was really hoping to find one with the verticle center piece....hmmm.....

FIG Grilles are metal Only advice I have for you other than every single person I've talked to at a ton of car shows say they hate the look of chrome grilles on the tC. (This includes some judges.)

thats the closest you'll get, and doubt you'll find a grill for our car with a vertical line down the middle. the grill isn't big enough for it to look right, nor is our car a Bentley.

Really? Thanks for pointing that out.
Who said we drove Bentleys?

ps - notice the first pic I attached... the lower center grill... it is "short" and has the vertical piece. I think it looks fine and I think the upper tC grill would also look fine with it. If I think it would look fine, that's all that matters.
