I just picked up a zhp' parts car a few weeks back starting to tear down now the grills on it were damaged and the sense that the back has were broken at the clips but the fronts are still good so I can repair them I look at the pictures online of the OEM performance grills and they look just like it but I can't find anywhere that showed the part number on the plastic anywhere.

The only numbers I see on it BM 07010 - 2 and -3

if they are not OEM then I'm just going to trash them not worth saving but if they are the oem ones I will try to fix them.

I quickly took a picture this morning before leaving to work. It's a little hard to see but that's what I see written on my grills from under the hood. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...185387e67e.jpg

Thanks man, that confirms mine are not OEM. �� Appreciate it!

Anybody ever had a defective floater in the ET? It sinks no matter how full the fluid is.

Maybe the foam broke off the bottom of the stick?

That’s the white thing, right? If so, it’s still there.

I'm at almost 191k and I have my FCPEuro cart loaded with like 50 things. I'm pretty much wanting to shotgun everything that hasn't been replaced since the birth of the car (Mostly suspension stuff and sensors and the coolant pipes under the intake). Is this a good idea or am I jumping the gun cause it's kinda expensive lol. I do plan on trying out some autocross this year (2019)

I’d think preventative maintenance is key before any type of hpde.

Yes on cooling system.

Depends on suspension. It’s most likely shot, but if you start getting into autox you may want to do upgrades.

This is for a stock refresh. Upgrades are in the cards, but I need to establish a baseline first.

I'm tired of doing preventative in bits and pieces, time to cry once and smile for the rest of the year. :D
