Grrr Some Moron Broke My Front Grille!

[whole9yards]

Hi huys, noticed this morning that part of my RX400h front grille was snapped off! Spme idiots must have somehow yanked it with such a force! Grrrr... Any idea how much it'd cost me to have it replaced by Lexus Garage please? And do you think this is something my local guy could fix instead of paying the dealers rate?

Many thanks!

Jake

Vandals don't you just hate them! Sorry to hear about this problem.

I guess your RX400h is a 2008 model registered in 2009 as production ceased in November 2008.

Going on the 2008 model the front grill assembly is part number 53101-48110 price around the £210.00 mark.

Contact our resident LOC forum Lexus dealer ACLex listed on the forum home page.

Any decent mechanic should be able to remove the broken one and fit a replacement or if you have a little DIY skill shouldn't be too difficult to do yourself,normally half a dozen 10mm bolts/screws

I have full access to a Toyota database, the price was quoted at 240.00 Euro so I estmated around £210.00 the price includes the surround but it is always worth asking your dealer for a discount.

Thanks Steve! Is that just part or including labour too?

Cheers
