European/UK vs Japanese Levin "Glass Grill"

[mad.matt]

Hi Guys

Other than the fact that Japanese ones say "Levin" not "Toyota" and have the option of fogs...are they the same grille, and so, colour as the UK/European Models?

At the moment, mine has a "Toyota" Kouki Grille I'm considering replacing it with a Levin one or just refinishing mine.

Can anyone shed any light?

Cheers,
Matt

AFAIK the grilles come without a sticker (bought one new once, had no logo on it whatsoever).
You can choose between a grille with pre cut foglight holes or a closed one, that's about it.

As far as I know the European grilles come without the Toyota writing and the JDM ones with the Levin logo. Indeed the JDM ones have the option to buy the pre-cut foglight holes that was standard on the zenki GT Apex.

European grille:
53100-12310

JDM grille without holes:
53100-12300

JDM grille with holes: (GT-Apex)
53100-12221

But you can clean up your European one and order a gold Levin grille logo sticker from the shop.

Those were exactly my thoughts about the sticker, but wasn't sure if the JDM grills have a gold tint instead of a grey tint

I'll check the P/n on mine

The grill has the section molded into the back which you cut the fogs out into and the front lights have the fog brackets and wiring so will be fitting fogs at some point.

I already polished it once before with Auto Gylm Super Resin Polish and it came up great but I think I'll give it a full refurb now, remove the sticker and get on it with scotchbrite and some wet and dry, along with my side lights and rear lights.

Thanks guys
