Hey benny, it looks like a HX or HZ, monaro or the ute, i had a look at one of my 1:18 diecast, and it looks close.

could be 80's camaro with that centre hole (they had a grill in them)
make it reliable, or smash it with a big hammer

the thing thats got me is that its dead flat accross the front where it meets up to the car?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/290658618548?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

i forgot to mention its 193cms accross... so that rules out anything thats narrow... and it cant be a hz hq george cause it doesnt have any curves to follow the nose cone..

ill check out 80's camaro thanks rossie.

Ok benny, now that we have a better angle to look at, it definately is not anything aussie, most aussie cars have some sort of curve in the front, and a comaro it is'nt, they have  even more curves and bumps. I would suggest it is part of a skirt or trim for front or rear, maybe a secondary part for a spoiler. We definately need to solve this one benny, mystery deepens.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ??? ??? ??? ??? ;) ;) ;)

Just wondering if it is meant to fit under something on the front of a Beddy or similar.  One piece bumper bar sort of thing.
For example, would it bolt up under a one piece bumper bar or bull bar (IE square shape) and enable the spoiler type look across the front end so as to still let airflow into the radiator etc.

I'm thinking of making something similar for the standard front on my camper to "shovel" the air into the radiator.  I made a couple of tin baffles and fitted them behind the grille to stop the air from taking the easy way past the radiator (around it and not through it)  and the temp gauge is a lot more stable.  Next is to to the "shovel" thing to the lower radiator to increase airflow.

Maybe this thing is something similar

Do you have a radiator shroud? These work very well in keeping the temperature stable.
