That said it doesn't look as bad with the older bonnet and scuttle panel.
So good to hear someone say that, as I thought I was the only one who did.
SJ should be square, flat fronted

There is a guy on Facebook who sells a fibreglass version of that grill that will fit the earlier Samurais.

Spain & Portugal did a slightly squarer front with out the nice curved bottom corners
I know from personal experience none of the parts fit the UK Sammis.
I had to buy the wings, top & bottom slam panels with support braces, Lights & some other bits & bobs as well as the grill. All in easily 100 Euros. The lights are a lot smaller & even take motors to adjust their angles (An unnessary expense)

I've asked Jesse who runs ss2.0 for help. I met him last month at Gonzookin..... Just thought I'd drop that in
. Hopefully he'll reply here.
I'm seriously interested in this grill.

The silver one is either a JA12 or a JA22. Think the only difference was the engine, as the JA12 had an F series and the JA22 had a K series.
Was the JA12/JA22 the Kei car? 660cc turbo?
It looks to me that this front grille wouldn't fit on older models - I think I see it overlapping with the front wings. I think if you wanted to fit it, you'd need the whole front clip, not just the grille.
I like the fact that it's got the indicators up and out of the way, but other than that I'm with Scottie. SJ410 grille is best looking, followed by SJ413 and the Samurai. Dead last though is the one with square headlights:
You wont like my tin top now then
