Ok - I get it - grill change only. Removing the chrome looks better I think but probably not as noticeable on a silver car.
sodaz, looking good. The chrome on the silver doesn't really stand out to bad at all with that grille.
Hi Sodaz,
Did you get the grill done at IS motorracing?
Coz i was there on the weekend when a silver euro fitted the same grill on.
read page 4.... yes he didQuote:

Anyong think it'd be cheaper to have it shipped from the states or ebay?
Car parts always seem over priced in australia in comparison even with the weaker dollar.
well i got a reply (it's been ok'd to be posted up):
Hi Chris,
Thank you for you enquiry. We do import the Euro R grill.
Please find below the pricing for the Euro R parts.
1. Grill + radiator panel : $200
2. Bonnet trim : $100
3. Grill under : $100
4. Euro R badge Rear (IN STOCK) : $50.
I'm not really sure about the front Euro R badge. I have to check that for you.
Shipping is extra, but that can be worked out later.
Note. 2 and 3 are the color trims surrounding the grill.

Is the radiator cover needed? - overall the price is a bit more than what i was expecting - but damn i love the grille. I wonder if an american would wana buy my stocko one.
It is needed if you are putting in the euroR grill, because they have slightly different design. You can still use your OEM one but you need to modify it a bit, if I'm not mistaken Peekay use the OEM one for his Mugen grill. Ask him how he slightly cut the radiator cover.Quote:

I was going to purchase a grill but decided against it. I personally think having either the Euro-R grille or the Mugen grille would suit better if one had a body kit on the car - which i don't have.
Since my car is at the panel beaters, getting the rear fixed up - bumper + boot lid and left hand corner structure damage. I'm also getting that deep dent i got awhile ago patched up and also getting the hood trim and grille trim sprayed to match body colour :)
the stock grille has grown a liking on me (with the sleek horizontal layers), it's just the chrome i feel which makes it look meh.
virIIx - i totally agree. When my car was in the panel shop i asked them to do the same but they refused even when i insisted. They said they wouldn't do anywork that they couldn't guarantee and that they didnt know how well the paint would adhere to the chrome surface :thumbdwn:
If the place is goin to charge you for painting the grill it might be worth picking up the pre-coloured trim pieces from ISmotorracing. expensive at 200 bucks but at least your mroe or less guaranteed that the paint will stick. It's something i might do aswell because like you said its the chrome thats the main problem with the grille
Chris_F, is that for both the hood trim and the grille trim? didn't know it was locally available.
They're only charging me $150 to get it painted, which i don't have an issue with, that seems fair. It's not guaranteed they said but is anything these days? honestly.. *points to the clutch topic* :)
They need to sand it down and apply some stuff which i can't remember what it's called now lol.. tip of the tongue.. and paint it up.
If IS motorsport does have access to both the hood and grille trims pre-coloured for $200 then I might buy it if my one bodges up later down the track.
