a guy on here is selling a dimma grill and ive paid 50quid and hes posting it today it is listed as a dimma grill not dimma style grill all was well when i started to search ebay and take a closer look at the guys pictures the grill itself obvs looks like a dimma but the mesh you get off ebay ones has two cuts outs for bonnet catch one on each side so i looked at the guys pictures and it has 2 cut outs aswell looks exactally the same, do you guys think this is a ebay one? if its real should it have dimma marking? ill be pretty foked off if its not real as the ebay ones are only 30 quid brand new!ive messaged the guy last nighr but no reply yet sorry cnt post pics or link at work on my iphone

enlarge the pic on this site and you can clearly see that the dimma grille only has one piece cut out. and that is a dimma grille.

i know thats why i am thinking this one is fake because it has two cut outs in the mesh like the cheap ones off ebay.

11th May 2009, 13:46

i know thats why i am thinking this one is fake because it has two cut outs in the mesh like the cheap ones off ebay. so do you think it will most likely be a fake? thank

Probably fake, why would you ever need to change the grill?

11th May 2009, 17:11

gutted eh how do you go about getting refunds on here other then messaging the seller? or isnt there owt else i can do? just fancied a change and my grill has faded tried back to black but doesnt do much

11th May 2009, 18:30

its a shame as they are only 30 quid brand new on ebay

11th May 2009, 18:34

The dimma grill you cut the mesh anyway in most cases.

Mine was clearly cut when I had mine different to another one someone had.

Both were dimma made of the GRP and had it imprinted in them

If you read the for sale rules, sales have nothing to do with the forum. There is no way of the staff getting money back its up to you to try and sort it out

i wasnt expecting any of the saxp staff to refund any money ect that would be madness lol was just looking for other ways of dealing with the matter other then pms, so if it has dimma printed on the back of the grill it will be real yes? thank you

That looks like a dimma "style" grill.

I thought the dimmas only had one cut out near the bonnet catch?

I have been wrong before though.

If he hasn't already posted it you can cancell the money coming out from your account. You could also contact Ebay about an item being fake and they will give you the money back.

^ He didnt buy it on eBay though?. . .^
Assuming you payed using Paypal, then you can make a dispute, and eventually file a claim that they will look at and decide whether to refund you. However, they rarely refund money because the item isnt as described, usually just if you dont recieve it etc.

Anyway, before you go doing all of that, try messaging the seller and speak to him about it. Or wait until you recieve it to make sure it is a fake, before you try for a refund.

Good luck mate.

My bad saw the link so though he did.

if the grill turns out to be fake (should be reciving it tomorrow) i dont think i will do anything just take it as a bad job and try and not make the same mistake again, im still going to fit the bloody thing after all this hasslw fake or not haha

12th May 2009, 17:10

Is their really much difference other then the one cut-out to the two-cut out?

I have the "style" one and rather save £20 then have one cut-out lol

12th May 2009, 19:57

The one in the sax-p link is most definitely a Dimma style one. We sell them at my work for about £35

12th May 2009, 20:04

You haven;t started this thread up before even trying to sort it out with the seller have you?!

12th May 2009, 22:54

its all sorted now the seller was very kind about the matter and a refund is going to be made

thank you for all your help guys
