hi guys i dont suppose anyone has got a g40 grille badge they want to flog me, as my g doesnt have 1 and i think it is a must :-) lol.
were these optional extras from the showroom? because mines got 1 on the back.
also were headlight washers a optional extra or are these after market? im goin for the stock look and wondered how orignal some parts are.
ive got the standard tape deck fitted lol it not that bad quality actually lol.
let me know what you think.
cheers, jake.
i know the washers were an after market extra cos one of my mates has one which he bought new all them years ago the dealer he bought it from (guilders in sheffield) told him they could have it fitted for an extra charge, the front badge i think came on all the uk G40's when i had my last G40 about 8 years ago some twat stole my front badge so i just went to guilders and bought a new one, think it was about £11.00 +vat. when i went in he told me the rear badges had become obselete and were no longer available but they still had the front ones available. that was 8 years ago tho so maybe they are all obselete now. your best bet is to go on the german ebay, www.ebay.de and look on there cos they still can get hold of new genuine G40 parts for some unknown reason. its a bit of a struggle getting used to the language but you should be able to work your way through it. search for G40 schriftzug on there and you should find one, schriftzug means badge.
cheers Tom
headlight washers were an option when new, part of the "winter pack" which included fog lights as well.
I might have what you need. I got a bag of G40 badges with my G. Don't think it's a full set, and some are broken / have worn paint. I'll take a look tomorrow and see what I have - haven't much use for them on the sleeper!

thats what i wanted to hear. Been umming and ahhing about if and when i got hold of a set of fogs, whether to fit them as i wasn't sure if the early G's had them as an optional extra.
