Strawberry Face

[gen180]

As some of you know I was going to sell my car for an r32. but after some time thinking about options and talking with my parents ive decided to keep it. But i really do want to make it something different. I was wondering if anyone has a General idea of the cost of a Strawberyy face conversion (s15 front on 180 back) it will probably be out of my price range. But it would be interesting to know.

thanks !

It'll cost you between 8 and 10k fitted and painted. It should really be installed with a S15 rad support. I've got a red 180 with a Strawberry Face conversion already done - I can do it on 17s for 18k.

 I can do it on 17s for 18k.

thanks man! I dont know much about engines just how to drive hehe. what do you mean about an s15 rad support? and you said as above you can do it on 17s? whats 17s?

thanks!

With the conversion if you leave the 180SX Rad-iator support (the flat bit the bonnet shuts on) the S15 bonnet wont sit right - we converted ours when it got to Australia. 17s are 17" wheels.

Firbeglass parts are about $5k, plus install etc, it all ads up.

For metal guards, exprect about $8k in just parts, plus installation.

I am still chasing a strawberry 180, but without anyone wanting to buy my r33, its a bit of a dillema

Maybe you wanna trade me your 180sx + cash for my r33? hehe, then I can save up a bit for the conversion myself.

Well done dude but...

1) That could be anyone's arse

Jash,

I know your red Strawberry face 180... seen it in the paint shop countless times. What a sexy sexy car!

Gary,

I told you, keeping your 180 would be different than following the pack and buying a 'line... Nice work!

Skyline Imports in adelaide do strawberry face kits in fibreglass (they have been for the last 3 yrs) and are pretty cheap these days.

I used to have one, loved my ichigo to death... then my insurance went thru the roof due to run ins with the law etc. anyways, the way I got mine was off a wreck in japan, cost me 4k all up and it was genuine bomex parts (metal fenders baby yaaaay).

[gen180]

do you knwo fo anyone in WA that would do it? i dont mind if its in fibre glass just as long as it looks good! hehe

[NO_RSPECT]

you can bring the kit for it in from queensland, i will find the link

its a good 5k and will still require piss farting around, like jeff said the radiator support panel is always important and instead of trying to go around it, you might as well incorporate it into the price.

I was wanting to do that, the pic of the blue one on the bomex site is excellent. also cardomain.com has a nice one there.

i got a adapter plate (which supports radiator n intercooler n all) with my kit... thought that would be part of the replica fibreglass kit too? You did have to cop 2 chunks off the front which goes under the standard 180sx front bumper. we used a angle grinder and some waterproof sealant to patch it up, then put an s15 front bumper on.
