AE86 JDM Levin flip grille

Hi all,
I want to sell my Automatic folding JDM Levin grille,as I'll not be fitting it to my next sprinter,and it's useless to my current car.
it's the orange bar type,with a large 'LEVIN' marking on the closed face,and a twin cam 16 badge on the open slat grille face.
the lower brackets are missing,but would be easy to fabricate.
comes with the plumbing,actuator,replacement centre support bar for the radiator support panel,and of course,the grille itself.
$200,no offers,Sydney sale only.
call me on 0418 663628 if you're interested.
Justin...

justin i definately agree with you man! They are rare as hell and they are even less common than the newer letterbox style one.
com`on everyone wants one of these! those who say they dont like it are just plain jelous cause they cant get their hands on one! 
btw i thought they are worth more than $200 ?!?!

they are worth more,but there are too many tight-arses on here...
simple as that. sprinters are a rare car,and getting rarer by the day,as they rust away,and they get crashed. parts like this are NOT easy to find. you need to snap them up fast when they come up.
I've been thinking of selling my disc brake rear end recently as well,but most likely won't as I know I'll be bombed by people wanting it for a hundred bucks.
if I gave the grille away for $50 I'd have a hundred kids calling me,but ask what it's worth,and they either bug you with "how about $50,coz I can't afford any more" or it's so quiet you're waiting for the tumbleweed to blow through.
I've put it up for what I'm almost comfortable selling it for,mainly becasue I just want it gone. someone will get a bargain if they have half a brain.
actually while I think about it,here's a deal that might make it move... clean swap for series one S14 parts... I need a driver's door trim,side skirts,a diff housing,and a pair of front guards. come up with any of that,and I'll swap you.
regards,
Justin...

you're not telling me anything new Satoshi... though in my experience,it's more certain groups of people who don't want to pay full price,more than just everyone being that way.
we all love a bargain,but at the same time,most don't feel they have to screw a seller over just because they don't feel like paying a fair price for something. why people feel the need to stuff other people around for (half the time) all of $10 or so is beyond me.
how many people have told you your whiteline tail-lights are overpriced so far? anyone offered you a hundred for the lot yet?
then tried to soften it with "hey,it's just an offer,you don't HAVE to take it..."...  someone will eventually,wait a few days...
I reckon you're giving them away at $350,but hey,I'm not in the market atm,I already have a full set still fitted to my wreck. if I was,I'd have bought them from you already. even though you don't have the numberplate lights to go with them.
good luck with your sale mate.
Justin...

you've been lucky then. I'm actually surprised at that to be honest.
anyway,we digress. does anyone want this grille,or does it sit here collecting dust for a while longer?

Justin,
damn, that is one hell of a bargain price. I picked up mine a while ago without the intention of buying one, but simply the fact that they are so rare and to snap one up is like a dime a dozen.
I'd buy it as a spare if no one picks it up But i'm sure someone out there is lookin for one.
Hows the verdict on the wreck dude?

Des,
yeah,I really have no need for this thing anymore. I most likely have a guy turning up today to buy it;if he doesn't show,it's yours.
as for the wreck,it's slowly being parted out. interior is gone,everything usable up front is gone,the stereo is in the S14.
I'm basically hoping to offload everything levin and any other spares I won't be needing by the middle of next year.
I'm hoping to get my old car back before Christmas,and then I'll be swapping the driveline across,and restarting the trueno project.

sprinter-saurus: PM replied.
gt20v: it opens and closes automatically. it has a closed face,and an open face. the closed one is flat and has a large LEVIN logo on it. the open face is a letterbox with a three slat grille in it's centre that has a twincam16 badge bolted to it. how's that? did you look at the two pictures? they're both of the same part. one is the closed position,the other is the open....

From what I gather when the engine gets to a certain heat temperature the vents open and close when its cool enough.
Wank factor

i think its supposed to connect to your thermostat but there's a manual leaver by the side of the grill to lock it in the open or closed positions.
it looks best when closed!
