Now I do want black and I don't want to be tight @rse here but:

On a well known on-line auction site I have seen:

Powder coated ali grill including stainless fixings for £30

Powder coated stainless grill with no fixings also for £30

Whereas the Naka option is £57 + p&p I think and without fixings as far as I can see.

I'm guessing the fixings wouldn't be expensive but are there good reasons why stainless is a better option than ali Question


I fitted a black powder coated stainless one off eBay about a year ago and I live right next to the sea, it is still in perfect condition.

That's good to know, thanks, but would it have been less so, if powder coated aluminium at half the price?

I'm in the market for the same, and the Naka grille doesn't feature on my list because of the logo in the corner. I'm sure it's a top quality product, but I can't abide accessories with conspicuous logos.

I'm exactly the same, but actually hadn't noticed until you mentioned Rolling Eyes

??? It was £30 for stainless powder coated

Wouldn't have a powder coated alloy one, the alloy will bubble up - I have lived next to the beach for the past 20 years and know a lot about things corroding!
