hey all,
i am after a drivers side headlight and front grill in white if possible but not necessary.

im in Perth, would much prefer local.

thanks
Mitch

[Joe]

oh no what ya do???

[shandy92]

ahaha i was driving on the Mitchell fwy (cedric st) at about 7;20 this morning(peak hr) on my way to tafe. i wasn't hanging up the persons ass... i think i must of blinked and then next second i know the car in front has stopped and im still doing about 35-40kph. slam on the brakes and pfffftt, went into the back of a Toyota corrola (i think) did only minor damage to her car and very very minor damage to the person in front of her.

i just snapped the bottom part of the grill and smashed the drivers head light, the only good thing about it is that her bumper made my number plate all nice and crinkle free now ahaha.

its gay as i have to pay an excess of $1000 as im under 25 and something else. which is money i really dont have:(

oh i still got down to tafe with 20 mins to spare(jandakot airport tafe).
i will get pics up soon,

Mitch

just had a look at suzistore,
$150 for new grill
$110 for headlight

much appreciated

Mitch

[Joe]

Ive got one but its on my car so you cant have it

[shandy92]

if i cant get 1 off here, then looks like ill be paying suzukishop $132 for one.
only thing is that they come black wanna swap for a black one Joe??

i rang a few places and they are all about 150-170 which sucks.

Mitch

[want33s]

Try again with Slowsierra and get it sent via E.go.... They are THE CHEAPEST courier around. You'll be surprised.

[shandy92]

thanks want33, just having a look through the site and getting a quote.

Mitch

[shandy92]

if i can only get black, anyone know how different painting plastic is to metal?
or should i leave it black on a white car???

Mitch

[want33s]

Give it a good sand and paint it as steel... Grilles aren't a high flex item and unless you rub through the old paint you won't have any problems making new paint stick.

anyone in perth able to lend me a hand when the time come to replace grill and light??

thanks

well its black but i will be painting it, then if u painted it black again that would be gay as it would mean i would have to paint it a 2nd time. so no that would not be appreciated lol.

Mitch

[shandy92]

Not sure how anal you are about the colour match Mitch, but Auto One will match any manufacturers paint code and whack it into a tin or spray can for you.

I got a 1 litre tin and did my hard top with it, and also got a spray can for touch ups (which is what I colour coded the centre grill with).

Not super cheap at ~$35 for the spray can, but it sure as hell makes things easy and is a bloody good match.
