Nice!

Jsen,
Do the new grills come in chrome surrounds or just black like the ones in the photos? I would like to get my hands on the grills with chrome surrounds + black inner vertical lines. Thanks

well i think its perfect ....but im a bit confuse ..are u saying that to get that grill i need to go to bangkok..??? not clear abt the place??? do u have it in kl..???

roger
i think it has lots of range.. from chrome surrounds + blackgrill, chrome surrounds + chrome grill, and black surrounds + black grill.

chill
so far, i have never came across the grill in malaysia... it was a coincident purchase... saw it in a magazine there in BAngkok...

as 1st. i tot need to change the nose as well...

happy hunting.

helloo have u all registered for AD...its just 2 weeks away

go for the original.
I fixed the taiwanese ones and in less than 1 month, forked out again to switch to originals.
The fit of the Taiwain mades ones is lousy and you can see a gap which is not possible to adjust.

no need to go to Bangkok la.. plane ticket also more than RM250 already keke

anyway I got an extra one for the same price (RM250) which I got it for someone but didn't come to collect. If anyone wants can get it from me, it's the black version.

 

[jsen]

guys.., dan got one.. for those who enquired bout it....

make sure it fits... for mine, its perfectly fits!... no loose gaps nor i need any additional adhesive for the installation..!

cheers.

p/s. dan, if u could post some pics tat would be great.! thks man.

 

[maco5007]

Yes, pics would be much appreciated. The difference is not much tho when seen from afar, those a closer inspection wud reveal the difference...hmmm...thinking about it...in KL i think i saw a replica set at GC Motorsports at BB Plaza and at Calvin's place at Euromotorsport.

 

[jsen]

if for those who knows to diiferentiate it.. yes it does matter, be it far or near... to spot a non face lifted version is an easy task though.

 

[DanPromote]

the one I got is exactly the same as jsen's one. Also a perfect fit.

 

[jsen]

aiyo.. ask ask so many Qs, now got one item lyin there, also hesitant to buy..! then wats the point of asking..?

dan,. try pm weechoon, i think he is interested too.! cox he asked me for the bangkok's add..! do check with him.!
