I keep seeing a lot of e30's with an extra lip to the top of the grille at either side of the kidneys. I understand these are known as euro grille's.

Could someone please point me in the right direction to purchasing a set??

preferably in this country.

many thanks

They are known as 'bruv brows' and unless your car is a molested turd and / or a convertible, they are best avoided :(

It's all explained in the wiki

Are you from the US? These euro grilles are just the normal grille for all of us, as you can see from the pic below. It was the north Americans who were 'special'. Maybe it was something to do with the 'special' head light laws?

Right cheers guys....

my car does for some reason has the american grill, but no I am from the uk!
How strange!

There is a difference between the brows and a euro grill, the brows are not for me , a little too much, however I do like euro grill ( just picked one up of a friend breaking an e30)

Thanks again

Jordan

The non genuine, replacement grills are based on the nasty US ones, it's possible you have these fitted.
