Is 200 Sport Pics/help Please ...

[Peter L]

Hi

I'm due to pick up a 2000 X Reg Sport in Aztec Fire tommorow which is supposed to be a Sport model but i'm not too sure ... the front grill looks just like any regular IS 200 but I thought the sport model had a mesh type grill like my old Mk1 GS 300 Sport ? Anybody confirm this and have a pic of the front grill on their IS 200 Sport ?

Thanks for any help

all the standard grills are the same mate,it will have dark glass in the rear and side windows,chrome tail pipe ,sport pedals,metal efect,sport decals in the rear quarter lights,maybe a two tone steeringwheel if its below 2001.

Thanks Besty but what do you mean by "all the standard grills are the same" ? I thought that only Sport Models had a different 'mesh' type (honeycomb) grill ? and that all 'lesser' models had a standard 'wavy' grill ? I did notice the tinted glass (with decals) 2 tone steering wheel, chrome pedals and short shift box so that was more of a relief. Also is £9K for a 2000 X Model with FLSH and 46K on the clock sound alright ?

Incidentally the deal for the other SE Navigator fell though so don't need the o/s headlight after all

Not "all" Sport models have the "sport" grille .........

they all have the std grille ........ some just chose to get the sport grille ! :)

How did they choose ? By Raffle ???

[MrADeveci]

No, those who paid .......... got the sport grille.

I used to think that too .... "all sport models have the sport grille"

But it's not true ............ though rare, you do see Sport models with the std grille .........

I think the std grille looks awful

Me too ! Hence the question What's the quickest/cheapest way of getting the better 'Sport' Grill

[Colin P]

quickest way is to buy one, cheapest way is to steal one

Cheers Col ! You're a mine of info ! How can I get one legitally cheap ... :D

[Colin P]

eBay or make a 'wanted' post on here asking if anyone has one for sale - doubt they will though.

think i saw one on eBay earlier though

My 2002 sport doesn't come with a sport grille :(

But I was thinking of making one myself- costs about 5 quid for the mesh, but I don't know how much effort it entails but it has been done :D

Peter, you can do what i did. Strip the paint off the std grille.........it gives the car an exclusive look...........
