UK differences

Post by cptnemo »

What differences are there between the UK and NA versions? DOes anyone in the UK know where I could get the parts cheap? I go to the UK about once a year so if I can get them delivered to my relatives' house I can bring them back next time I'm over.

the main difference is that we all have glass headlights and you guys don't. I think> i'm not sure but the front bumper may differ a little bit>

and sorry but there ain't NOWHERE to get cheap parts from in the uk. We have to pay probably twice as much as you guy's to do up our mx's because there is onlly one company that sells kits in the uk and that is a pakfiefer kit.

OEM parts are also really expensive> for example a passenger side (on yours drivers side) rubber seal here is £70 - £80 :( and there ain't nowhere that stocks replacement parts really because it is quite a rare car

I thought you had a different stock bumper, a strut bar and side skirts? I want to make my car look stock Euro spec. To cut down on shipping and costs I might be able to trade parts with someone or bring parts over to help cut down on shipping.

MikeUK: Is that the JSpec?
I have the same front/rear and sideskirts on mine (imported from Germany). Are there any differences to the Japanese and European versions or are they in fact the same?

Looks the same as the Australian Eunos 30X except the bonnet. Is that standard?
