J33LUS Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hi guys, I need to get the grill which fits in the front of my uk bumper. The problem is I cant find one anywhere and the local dealers cant order me one as they say my chassis number cant be found. Can anyone: 1. let me know thier UK SPEC TT Manual chassis no ( ) 2. Anyone who who lives close enought to me (stratford) get one for me and i will pay them. I am running out of idea on how to get one? Help???

Homer Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 No supra's came with a grill, UK or otherwise. (unless there was a dealer option that wasn't on the Jap catelogue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swandip Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Ther are no grills ready to fit, you need to buy the mesh and do it yourself. Did mine a few months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I thought the facelifts came with a grill on the stock front bumper, like this one: Or is it a optional extra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 As Gazza says the facelift cars had a grill in the bumper which you can buy sperately if you want, they come pre painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 No supra's came with a grill, UK or otherwise. (unless there was a dealer option that wasn't on the Jap catelogue) You don't have the George Foreman upgrade on yours then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J33LUS Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 Guys thanks for the amazing response. My internet has been down for a few days! The grill I speak of goes underneath the front number plate but above lower front splitter. Are you sure the supra didnt come with a front grill as there is just an empty hole there??? Gazzahsi, I think that is the grill I need. Dont think much of the mesh type (sorry). Where can I buy it from? My dealer is being a pain!!!

J33LUS Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 THATS THE ONE! The problem I am having is the main dealer said he couldnt order me one using my chassis number. How much did you pay for it and how can I get one as the dealer siad I need another chasiis number from a UK TT in order to buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 The reason why they can't order it off your VIN number, is probably because the part was only fitted on the later model (96+) Supras. Here is the EPC diagram and part numbers, the part comes pre-painted so you will need to get your paint code from the VIN plate (although if yours is an early model Supra it may not be included). I have also included the part number for the bolts, it is the one at the bottom of the last page. If you need a source for the part I should be able to supply cheaper than the UK T dealer prices, although I would need to order from Japan which would take a few weeks. Just give me a shout if I can be of help. http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/3597/picture1ni1.png http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/8408/picture2hy4.png http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/7018/picture3sd8.png http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/4931/picture4nt8.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Wahey:) Can't get much more helpful than that :) Fairly certain it was Nic that gave me the part number when I bought mine - took 3 days at the local main dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisSZ Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 LOL @ Nic I don't have the patience to wait mate - I even fitted it in the dealers car park rather than waiting to get home LOL.
