Fitting crosshatch / mesh style grille in lower models?

Anything related to the Kizashi can go here, but please look at the other headings first. Your topic may fit better under something else.

Samir, I cant imagine anyone bothering to produce the original style grille for the Kiz. Too rare after all....

You'd be surprised how much the aftermarket industry has already produced for the car. It wouldn't shock me if there's a grille out there.

Being a common part damaged in crashes/ accidents there might be a market there in the future?

Andrew, I've dealt with them in the past and their prices are usually right up there. (I've owned Daihatsu's and Suzuki's for probably the best part of 20 years and bought a few bits off them over that period.) Last time I was there you couldn't get in to look at the vehicles- you walk in to a counter and have to deal with a parts person. If you're really keen I could go have a look at the part, but there's no guarantee how well they'll pack it for the journey to you.

Thanks David. I think I'll be strong and let this one go...they did seem a little 'scruffy', from what I gathered!
Like you said, There will be a few more appearing from now on and with keen observers like you around...you'll probably notice them before me. 8-)

Said it before....but I really want one..............

I did a quick search and there is an aftermarket grille made by Keystone/LKQ. But the bad news is that it's actually more expensive than Suzuki's, which means they're probably just buying a genuine Suzuki part and then marking it up. :(

Tacky, obnoxious and tasteless. They have no place on a Kizashi IMO. Save it for the BBQ

Convex BBQ grill? Not sure about that :lol:

There is a serious lack of aftermarket support for the Kizashi.

Even Suzuki Sport japan have neglected the model :cry:

True looks like a BBQ grille , anyone know about getting side skirts and chrome strips and maybe the boot spoiler , think there will ever be a body kit?
