As per the title, I'm after some 4th Gen nostrils, preferably the pre facelift (single slat) but will consider the twin slat if no pre facelift's are around.

Cheers

pre facelift in grey. some damage to mounts - you might need to swap some of the studs over from your exsisting set - but theyre in good condition on the front. £10 plus p&p
or you could buy the meshed grill set taht phil has up for sale :)

theyre bound to have one or two broken lugs id bet on it - all prefacelift nostrils will be at least 20 years old so brittle plastic and theyre at the front of the car ... its wishful thinking if your hoping to find undamaged ones - just saying :lol:

@newkid , if the ones that are on that car you have look like they might break when you attempt to remove them due to the rust, I'll take them still attached to the support, you can cut that down though to reduce the size as I don't really need that.

Mine came off undamaged. :o
You just have to wire brush the worst of the rust off the threads, then spray with WD40 and undo carefully. ;)

thats because you are like a lude ninja - most other sets of nostrils have been mistreated :lol:

I snapped one of the lugs on my nostrils. The thread gets so rusty its sometimes impossible not to snap one or two :(
