Title: Omega Front Grills & EyeLids
Post by: Craig_R on 19 April 2007, 10:06:31
Hiya Chaps I Am thinking about changing over my front Grill for a Nice one.

Does anyone have any suggestions on which to go for and where to get them ?

I have seen acouple on Ebay for about 35 pounds Plus P&P.

Also I am In Two Minds about those Eye Lid things. What does everyone think Good Thing Or Bad Thing ?

I know The Boy thinks they are Gay as he put it lol

Like front grills, but not convinced by the £35 ones, nice irmscher one :)

Eyelids, I hate, think they look crap and cant imagine they help light output either, really dont see the point.

Dont want to offend, but just offering an opinion as requested.

I second that. Irmscher grille is definitely the best option, albeit expensive. And headlight eyebrows are gay, very chav-tastic.

Wow those Irmscher Grills are not cheap are they. I don't think I can stretch to that much for a grill.

This is the one i have seen for £35 and £10 P&P on Ebay

Are those eyelid things blocking the headlamps?

I suppose they are OK for cars which live in Toy Town, but even Lightning McQueen has his eyes in the windscreen!

And the glue from those eyebrows is a right pain to remove  >:(

Where were those daft eyebrow things fitted anyway, Irmscher specials or on any normal production car?

This is mine with its irmscher grille, I dont know the regular selling price on ebay or places like that, the RRP is about £180ish, I haggled mine off a local guy who occasionally uses this forum and got mine for £80... and it was brand new!!

Before anyone suggests... I have clear side repeaters on it now, just not had chance to get a photo as my camera went back for repair not too long ago

You should see how much the grill is for pre-facelift from Irmscher, its a joke for a peice of plastic.

I quite like the grills that you've found on eBay, although I prefer them on the pre-facelift as it looks 'less in your face' - just my opinion though :)

I used tar remover (thanks Timbuk  :y) to get rid of baked on glue on my rear screen, not sure if suitable for headlamps though...

I had to fully wash the cdx in (autoglym) tar remover few weeks ago, too much to spot treat, all came up fine, even headlamps.
