would it be possible to take out the front grille on my 2002 tj (the black "cross-hatched" version) and put in the front grille out of a 2003 tj (the chrome alternating up and down one)???

Can't see why not. Should just clip in and clip out.

Yes....

how much did that grille cost?

Isn't that just the KJ verada grille?

They are worth about $130 new.

Yes. It is a KJ Verada Xi grille.

Akko, I see you are in Perth. If you can't get it second hand, give AMCAP distributors (Perth's Mitsubishi parts distribution centre) a call and see what they can sell it for. I have found that they are normally cheaper than the dealers and will sell direct to the public (I get all my oil filters, tranny fluid, etc from them). Open on weekdays only though.

no problems. I hope you find that they are cheaper for mitsu parts. Probably even cheaper if you can get trades discount?

Found them in the white pages when looking up my local mitsu dealer. Hey what this number, a parts distributor and they retail to the public!!! :dancin: Give them a call to compare the prices before you go out there. In fact, they also distribute parts for holden. Economies of scale I guess.

you got their phone number there dude? you reckon they will ship to VIC?

No idea if they ship to VIC? Their number is (08) 9351 6622. They normally require credit card payment in person. I've tried ordering over the phone without any luck.

I've just checked the business section of the victorian white pages for "Mitsubishi" (www.whitepages.com.au) and saw that Preston Motors 1551 Sydney Rd Campbellfield 3061 (03) 9358 3100, is the parts distributor for Victoria. No idea if they will sell direct to the public. Give them a go, but call your normal dealership to compare prices first.

Sorry to hijack this thread further!

thats a pretty good price cos the KE verada chrome grille is $190
