MB vs WR Cosmetic Diffs???
ATTN Euro Listers.
I want to put a Euro Style bumper on the us-spec ur-q I am buying.
Couple questions.
1) Grille differences. I notice some have sloped grille. Is this
only the 20v or does the MB have it to or is it unrelated. (ie...mid
model chanage). Do all MB's have it. only some. SOme WR's have
it..etc.
2) Are these Grilles and Headlights Identical to the OLD/NEW
Grilles/lights for the 4kq (80/90) In 85' the 4kq went to the Sloped
grille and sloped lights.
3) On the Euro Bumper, is it 2 or 3 pieces. Also, on the US
ur-q's, the Core support appears to be different than on the 4k/coupe-GT.
The entire bottom below the bumper seems to be missing. Is true on Euro
cars too? Why is this, IC / Aux Radiator / Lower Valence makes it
Necessary. If latter, why does Euro Bumper need it as its valence is
farther forward isn't it?
4) On the US Cars, At the base of the grille Area but on the Core
Support, there is a car wide bracket thing from what I can tell that is
used for attaching part of the bumper. Is this there on the Euro Cars?
Any other things I should know??? Oh, hey, Can anyone give me an
idea of what I'm looking at for prices for a Euro Bumper in US? WHat
about if I pick one up in Europe when I'm over there??? Would that be
cheaper. Maybe I could get lights for cheap too. Are there any Good
U-Pull-Yard or just junk Yards there I can get parts from over there.
I'll be in France/Germany primarily. I have 2-weeks. ANd I dont know what
shipping would be for stuff like that overseas. Maybe I can fit lights in
my Suitcase if I get a Big One but not a bumper. Hmmmm, Metal part would
fit in a Ski Bag though...:-) Now I just need the Valence/cover to come
over somehow. Hmmmmmm
TIA
