Euro Grille and Smoked Corners



Here is a new pic taken today of the euro grille and smoked corners.
These will be available in limited quantities at the following prices.

Grille: $150
Corners: $120
Hazard Button: $45

I think they really give it a special look that you dont find here in the states often (only the people who have done this have this look....).

Dibs are as follows:

NYC 92 GXEr

Smoked Corners -

If anyone is interested in either I am working on getting a few sets imported. Please PM me if you want to be in on it. Cost will likely be about $100-$120 for grille and corners to be imported.

I dont like the grille as much as the VE grill but the corners

I dont like the corners on stock lights unless you do them like I did (AE type with the corners of the headlight painted to match the UK corners).

Of course these are only my opinions and I know several will disagree with me and thats ok too.

You found a junk yard with several or something? Last I checked new the UK corners were over $300 a set US.

$100-120 for the grille and corners is a steal.

Yep this is for used grille/lights. Chime in if you are interested.

These corners look great if you are thinking of doing the BMW E36 conversion, or like Mike said, paint the stock ones like the Anniversarry Edition lights.

Still working on that... it might be from a couple different yards, so the prices will be averaged and then i will sell them at that price.

yeah, it's cool - it lights up red at night and blinks when you press it



just a little something different for the interior

nice job on the corners though, I'm with Michael and dont really care for the grille

Did you drill out the holes in the corners so you can put in bulbs? You'll have to remove that silver piece from the smaller part of the corner too since it's in the way.

I like grills nice and wide open, it makes the car look more agressive.

It is only stupid if it is illegal to use a detector in your state, otherwise it is very functional.

If it wasn't so cold in Sweden, we could send Wiking out to all of the cheap Euro junkyards to find parts.







Maybe in the spring...

You would not want to pay what they extort - cheaper to buy new from the stealer ship... and besides, all the very few maximas still rot on the road...

What we have plenty even at junkyards: snow, volvos, VW's, need one grille? Or electric heated steering wheel from volvo?

No offense, but I want US grille, many there want EU grille. So we see the world is full of havenots... Anyways, I promise to post if I happen to find a used grille, that is here 120$ +postage and I get nothin. One year ago there was one (read: 1!) 90 SE at junkyard with 1500$, funny price, eh?

hi. this seems like a big bu$iness opportunity to me

...of course local stealership will sell all those, but I suppose all of u are NOT intere$ted.

...and as said, the yearly 2-300 sold maximas (that used to be in -90's) do not fill the junkyards with the 20yr median car utilization.

...now been looking 1½yrs for a source for grille/corner lights, but not ONE in sight. Will inform if such day arrives, but if russians invade before that, will NOT inform (no internet in siberia?).

...meanwhile, lets be happy what u have: prez, freedom, tingies, life...

I received an update on the pricing... and it looks like I was lucky on my order?
Corners ~$120
Grille ~$150
Hazard Button ~ Dont know yet
Shipping will depend on the amount we order (weight + export taxes) and also on + shipping from boston to you.
So this isn't for the faint of heart, but it is possible.

I think the Euro grills are funny. They make me laugh for some reason but I do like the Hazard switch and corners. Might be interested. Anyone know if they sold Maximas in France? I might be going this summer and probably will try to find them.

U hit me in the nerve - I have the funnybunnygrille. But cannot understand why some want 'em...

Dont go there. Theres too many french. But they have maximas... Germany, thats the place. Although too many leather pants... Decide to spend one week seeking the grille; grand holiday experience! Beats all beaches...

Final pricing schedule:

Grille $150
Corners $120
Hazard Button $45
+ shipping

Let me know if you definitely want it so I can figure out the logistics of getting this stuff shipped over.

Thanks,
Brian
