UK front BRZ grille...

I was watching some review of the BRZ, because that's what I do for fun, and I noticed that this particular BRZ (UK version) had a different grille than the US spec. Is this an option for the UK or just on the test drive cars?

Close up @ 4:45.

Thanks in advance!

Am I the only annoyed by the fact that he is molesting the car? How many times does he need to touch and rub it?
Then an automated wash...poor car.

The grill/grille is different though.

Edit: well I guess he didn't touch it that much.

Here is a UK Aftermarket grille kit, it looks like this was fitted on the car in the video.



Man I wish someone would come out with something like this billet style grille

I'd be happy if I could even find a shop where I could get it made.

That would probably be the best way to go, especially since the mass produced grill aren't that expensive. Good tip, thanks.

Wow, would love that grille in the states. Maybe grill crafte or something will make an almost identical one.

To each his own. I love the car, but not this plastic moustache and the open invitation to damage.
