I'm afraid we live in a capitalist society where everyone buys and sells for a profit if you don't like it then move to China/Russia (although their not technically communist anymore)

[muzzy]

I want one of them, got absolutely no use for it since my car is for hillclimbs but i still want one

[bmw156]

i did miss a red one on ebay a while back some one posted a link up on png and it went for like 40 quid.

Not everyone...

china and russia were never ever communist states.... they were possibly maoist/leninist dictatorships then followed by simply being totalitarian states, and now they claim democratic freedoms but the state still runs everything behind the scenes.

the nearest to being communist would probably a tribe of pygmies in the amazon basin that a film crew has never got to, or even a buddhist monastery.

Now, back at the thread.....

Why do people get moist about these grilles? they are rare simply because they were not popular when new. if we wanted fog lights, we put proper ones under the bumper(where they are useful) and if we wanted driving lights, they looked like this: and we put them on rally style....

I don't know, I think they look crap tbh lol The red gte style one that craig posted looks nice, but it would look better without the grill imo

[Joe Richardson]

[Plug]

ive seen a couple of these either on cars round by me or in the local scrappy.

I know its different but a gte grill just looks so much better :thumb:

[bmw156]

i think the grill look nice, not sure on the coloured one tbh.

and yeh it is something different from the normal grill, an SR grill or an GTE grill.
