I don't like what that new grill does to your car colour :scared:

True, plates are the ugliest things on the front of cars :disapp:

I might order one in a couple of months Dave, if you want one as well we can save on shipping costs :)

Let me know how much Craig.
Cheaper than a new car.  ;)
Doesn't look like we would save on shipping, by ordering two including shipping would be $539.96, we'll see in a couple of months how the dollar fares :goodjob2:

If you guys get 2, you'll have more front than Dolly Parton!  :whistler:

You might be able to sell your old fronts on Ebay for a few bucks (To replace damaged ones!)  :goodjob:

That's a good idea Dazz :goodjob2: I'm just checking with Tim if the foam bumper behind the grill is compatible with the new grill, it should be hopefully :fingers:

My brother and family is stopping at Korea on their way back from the US so he is going to pick me up one of the new grills, it'll cost me roughly $260 when converted to AUD.

Dave, he can only bring one extra package with him unfortunately :Pout: the grill has to be unpackaged a put in a bogie board case as carry on luggage.

I recognise that the diesel is better for most Australians because you enjoy a warmer climate and generally drive longer distances regularly.

In Europe it's different.

Most private buyers are family people who need a car for running about locally, visiting friends and relatives occasionally and driving long distances rarely. For such people (like me) a diesel with a DPF is a bad choice - it is why when we came down to one car between us, I changed to petrol.

In the UK new car sales are mainly to leasing companies and commercial enterprises. They are attracted to diesel because they are more economical on fuel and the employees car tax is much lower.

So petrol versus diesel is not one choice fits all - it depends on individual circumstances.

So do we take it from the redesign that "fluidic design" is no longer the ethos?

The original GD, ix20 and i40 all had the chrome "separators" in the headlamp cluster being extended into the chrome of the grill, creating the overall look of it belonged together, the new one looks like an aftermarket upgrade IMO. :undecided:
