calais front end how much??

[andyman4444]

I have a friend who can get me the front end of a Calais front for $1500 now my VL only cost me $2000 so im kinda worrying if this is a rip...
The Front incudes everything but the grill.
Thanks if anyone can give advice on this

Why not the grill? i thought i seen the same on ebay for around $1000 with the grill and the moving eyelids.

How much of the front end. I paid 400 for my calais front.

 

[Matty081]

what state you in? theres 2 in the wa quokka
1 for 500
1 for 800

I sold mine for $500

$1500 is a major rip off!

i seen quite a few for bout $800. i've though that the executives dont have th ewiring looms for the motors to make the lights pop out. dont know if its true or not but yeh, check that out coz if the eyelids dont lift its a defect, well in QLD anyway.

The executive doesnt have the wiring looms for the calais front.u can get an aftermarket version of the calais front for 300 bucks, it looks real but is really just one piece. think that is the best thing if the car doesnt have great security or if its a young driver...but thats just my opinion..

yea, the fiber glass fronts look as good, and cost **** all to the 'real' popups, besides less weight = faster car lol!

Haha, I don't think the weight difference between fibreglass and the genuine nose cone is going to change anything. The genuine nose cone weighs nothing.

Remember the fibremaster fronts for 400 are considered illegal because they don't pop up - you'd have to be unlucky to get booked for it though, especially in qld.

And running a relay off the headlights for the motor isn't that difficult. Oh and speaking of motors, if you don't pick up one when you get your calais front, be careful because people want 50-150 for them aswell.

if the lids dont work, is it a defect in melbourne too?
