I got hit by a roadsign last week... yep, not joking.
It flew out of the back of a ute (pickup for those who arent Aussies) on the motorway and hit my numberplate edge on. Its not a pretty mess as its smashed the plastic number plate bar and taken the top slats out, I was lucky it missed all the paintwork, didnt feel lucky tho...
Sigh.... and ...Yes the ute is long gone and no CCTV or dashcam footage so Im on my own with this...
Amusingly (if there is such a thing with this) the lower part of the grille is still intact or at least looks it... ready for a Pheasant or a reversed tow ball in a car park if one came along... If i ever need it I guess I could do something to make 2 into one with that part... anyway, something for later... but for now I need a whole one...
Soooo, I need to buy a grille.
Now my car is a Rallye, which has the brake ducts... like a UK/EU Circuit Pack etc.
My question : is the grille the same part number for models with/without these ducts?
I dont want to buy the wrong grille :/
This is the grille pic Lamspeed have on their site, its part number : 53102-52150
This is the only part number ive been able to find, is there another? ...or do all cars use this and the Rallye/CP owners just push/snip(?) out the blanking plates?
