Interested to see if it sells for that much, I just got one which was 'new old stock' for £30 inc. delivery from Ireland... so 'the Holy Grail' may be over selling it a little. No badge on mine though.
I thought the upgrade to a plastic grille was more a styling thing than pedestrian safety? I wonder where you really stand retro fitting them to later Pandas if that is the case.
Fresh coolant and a good thermostat and you wont have any issues, the FIRE engine is a very over-cooled engine IMO.Hope the reduced air flow isn't too much of an issue for my FIRE engine, .
No cooling issues have occurred with my injected 999cc, it'll be fine, as Didge says, the fire engine was quite over cooled anyway. Keeps to 70 or so degrees on the motorway and moving as normal, traffic allows it to 90 and the fan always keeps it from going too much above that.Hope the reduced air flow isn't too much of an issue for my FIRE engine, though doubt I'll have it on before Spain and it'll be less of a worry on the Russia trip. One other consideration is the potential for stone chipping on a metal grille, I'd have thought even with spikes on the bonnet my Panda will still be as pedestrian friendly as most of the cars round here just because I look out of the windscreen and even indicate!
