AMR Lightweight Grille
Anybody on here have experience running the AMR lightweight grille? I really want to run a grill delete and don't really feel like having a custom one made. I'm about to just throw away $700 to buy one of these and call it a day: https://www.redpants.lol/shop/amr-lightweight-grille https://static1.squarespace.com/stat...pg?format=750w |
I own one, but about 2 weeks from putting it on. Also have the lower mesh to go with it. i will post once done. |

Just got mine installed tonight. I'm not a big fan of chrome. I feel it updates the look a lot. I bought mine from astonmartinbits but mine didn't come with the brackets. I emailed them, they got on touch with aston and sent brackets for no charge. Awesome customer service. I originally went to buy a new push start button and saw the grill. Had to have it!

Brackets had me stumped for a little while. Flipped around, tried different ways and eventually figured it out. Can reuse the torx M5 bolts. I bought new M5x12 bolts for the lower bracket bolts so they don't stick out. Also need to add fender washers and longer M6x25 bolts for lower tabs on the grill to lower bumper. Otherwise, it's an easy install.

doesn't look half bad and it would be a lot easier to keep clean, if nothing else.

How much weight does it shave off?

Love the look of these, but I must be getting too cheap in my old age. $1,000 for an upper and lower one seems too expensive.

8 bar grille: 3 lbs 13 oz // 1.73 kg 6 bar grille: 3 lbs // 1.36 kg *estimate V12VS carbon fiber and mesh grille: 2-2.5 lbs // 1 kg *estimate AMR lightweight mesh grille: 8.5 oz // 0.24 kg |

It save 3 lbs off the front but didn't do it for the weight.

I agree the AMR grill is a bit plain. Better to stay original or go with the V12/GT8 Carbon fiber grill.
