Anodising Windows & Grill- Melbourne

[marcus_cottrill]

thinking about anodising my window frames and engine grill .... which I didn't do when I restored my car (or rather Jason did).

Is the Porsche replacement grill a better option than anodising an original grill? anyone bought one of these?

Any anodising recommendations in Melbourne? I've previously used AA Vinney's in Dandenong (Clydes recommendation ) for chrome and they did an excellent job. I recall they can prepare, but don't do anodising themselves. Anyone care to guess how much this might cost?

Hi Marcus,

cant help on costs but I just had some chroming done by Vinnie and they are overwhelmed with work - 6 week wait times

Thanks Mark

They are always overwhelmed with work!!

Melbourne anodising is the go Marcus but disassembling and re assembling and straightening/polishing/re anodising a grille is no easy task will probably eat up more money than buying a replacement from Porsche Classic. Ask Santa for one

Pulling your door frames completely apart for polishing then anodising is fun too as is the re assembly

Thanks Clyde - I hope I’m in the nice list this year !

I have a really neat one tucked away in the garage, shoot me a message with your mobile number and I’ll send you some pics if you like.

Picked up the new grill from Porsche Melbourne.. pretty much identical to the original other than the black mesh has slightly smaller holes.. and obviously is much shiner

Early Xmas present

Same deal with the 72/73 version from Porsche Classic identical except for the mesh
