A clear corners question (front)
Who has the best quality and best looking clear corners out there? I've found
many but prefer going with one that is well liked on the forum with a good blend
to the front of the car. Thanks.

I've bought mine from www.duw.com in Germany. The brand was MHW. Poor quality and shape. Best quality ever is from www.hella.com

as my neighbor has the camera, but it's just the OEM grill (brand new - still looks nice compared to my broken grill that was faded).

oh, so you didn't get the avantgard grille; maybe now that you have an extra grille housing you might mess around and make a custom grille (I've seen some threads where people bought mesh material and did a DIY)

trbo2nr, check out this guy from Club202 (he can't close the hood because he hasn't worked out the hood release yet):
This is an "extra" grille for him, and he's been back and forth about the star in the middle:
seems like a fun project though....

I think the mesh should be a little tighter so the behind stuff doesn't show
so easily. Yeah, that hood release will be something for him to overcome. But
since it's an extra grill, he can take his time on it.
My wife asked what gift I want for the holidays and I'm already thinking tools, car parts, or a vertical air compressor (I'd like to build a custom reel to hold
the hose to the garage ceiling).

I forgot to ask if u had the Bosch part number for the clear corners? I think
the dealer wants $87 each and I'd like to first check ebay etc. Thx.

it (tomorrow). While it's not a perfect OEM fit (plastic has slight bend at chrome
ends), it might not be noticeable when mounted on the car.

I got the S600 grill in my old frame! So, I'll pull the OEM off and see how I like it (tomorrow). While it's not a perfect OEM fit (plastic has slight bend at chrome ends), it might not be noticeable when mounted on the car.

I've seen threads advising against "crystal clear", so I'm completely lost. Steve sent me this ebay link (here), but, achtung, I confess to still being confused! Help! Anyone? Bueller?
clears (Bosch) fit the best and look the best overall. I've seen links with a lot
of helpful information under:
