Euro R / Mugen Grille All Together In One Thread

I was going to replace the chrome bits too but then i realised that the Euro-R doesn't have chrome around the windows. I decided that it was going to look funny if i only changed the front. What do you guys think?

I don't mind the chrome around the windows.

I find it funny if someone has weather protectors on the windows, as the chrome is removed, and it seems half arsed if u know what i mean :)

personally never noticed euro-r without chrome on windows o.O

virIIx, the guy at IS said stated "Note. 2 and 3 are the color trims surrounding the grill." (2. Bonnet trim : $100 3. Grill under : $100) at the end of his email.

I'm assuming that they are coloured given what he said... but :confused: that may be for the unpainted pieces. If so i'd rather just go get it painted.

So true about the guarantee - i couldn't see the logic in my panel shop saying they wouldnt do it because the guarantee it even after i stressed that i was willing to take on the risk. These days they are probably expecting me to turn around and sue them for a bad job haha.

I wouldn't mind some opinions aswell, who thinks the complete euro-R grille is worth the extra money vs. just getting the grille trims painted?

Chris_F,

I think if you don't like the chrome bits you should just paint it. Getting the Euro R grill for your reason is a waste of money imo. I'm sure you can get somebody to powercoat the chrome parts for not a lot of cash.

ok, i think thats a better option cost wise aswell.

I really like the look of the euro-r grille but for that much money i don't think i like it enough. and besides i don't even have a euro-R kit to compliment it.

Sodaz do u know if those trim pieces are pre-painted? If so i wouldn't mind buying those as i could return the car to stock with the chrome down the track and possibly even sell the jdm trim.

They should all come pre-painted.. at least that's what i'd think. Just like the oem body kits - already pre-painted.

I also agree with you, as much as the euro-r/mugen grille's do look nice, you need a body kit to go with it, otherwise it just doesn't seem quite right :)

i pickup my car tomorrow afternoon from the panel beaters, so i'll see how good of a job is done. Will post pics if time forbids.

I think you should just give them a call and ask them. They should be able to give you a definite answer.

VirIIx i got the OEM bodykit.. just not the euro-R version.

i recently saw these pictures

and they really make a point for the entire grille - i think it looks great on that guys car.

tough decision

Picked up the car like as if it was brand new, all clean and polished and everything!

The painted grille looks very sexy as well - excellent job!!

I've got one pic of it up, aplogies for lack of variety, but I figured i'd show off the lights too as well :)

hey! nice!
but arent the blue parkers illegal?

they're technically 4 white led's together.

i guess at that kind of density it looks blueish :)

haha gotta love the technicalities - even so i still think any foward facing led's are illeagle? who cares looks awesome! specially on the blue euro.

I really like how those painted trim pieces look! I've decided to do the same but will be getting the trim pieces imported because i'm guessing having them painted would only be slightly cheaper.

Get some more pics up if you can (in daylight). It's hard to see the affect removing the chrome has.
