Re: NB Grille
NB8a is better if u wanna turbo charge, NB8b is newer but not hard to interchange interior and exterior but i think the front end on nb8a looks better with mods.

Re: NB Grille
the NB8A and NB8B have a different shaped front bar, so there are different grilles to suit.

you have an NB8C, which has the same shape as NB8B.
nice colour, by the way

Re: NB Grille
The series 3 is a NC, you have a series 2 or to be pedantic 2.5. Truly the best of the NB in terms of refinements, the SE I consider to be too flawed a project. The SP is prob the best all round performance package, essentially a NB8B with a tasty turbo setup.

I always liked Crapweasels grill so I hunted one down from the states.

Re: NB Grille
I have the same model NB and bought the plastic mesh grill from U.S. ,cut it a bit to fit and sprayed it black. Quick cheap job and keeps the cane toads out...

No, fog lights are standard. Just very clean. Only 26000 km on Scooby. He is very spoilt.

Yeah Bootz, the Meisters are really cool I really like them too. I am thinking about buying a set for my Subaru GT-B but they are 18" so a little pricey.
