Hi folks,
Does anyone know where in the UK I can order C-West body parts from? I am interested in their grilles, but don't know where to get hold of them, other than through www.takakaira.co.jp .
Also, a little while back, a few piccies of older scoobs featuring the C-West grille were posted. These piccies/ links would be extremely useful to me, as the demo car is jet black on a dark photo!!
Cheers,
Nick

Ok, for all of those not fluent in Japanese, you try getting to Car stores in Tokyo. I was confident that 30 after My father had lived there, things were fairly more cosmopolitan now and a vague grasp of english amongst the newer generation would be in place. Boy, was I wrong.
I was staying in a £130 a night hotel, so I was hoping for some desk staff that could actually hold something vaguely resembling a basic conversation with me
I had it all reletively well planned out, with addresses etc all in Japanese, which were all apparantly wrong according to the Hotel manager, in the very little english that he could speak.
He then went and corrected them, but couldn't figure out where these places were in Tokyo, came up with a couple of maps which for each address had 3 possible locations. I had the train and cab journey from hell trying to locate my little subaru parts 'pot of gold' stores, came up with none of these stores, drove past a tire place by accident and told the driver to stop purely on the basis that they were working on 2 skylines and a RX-7 Efini. I made it out of Tokyo with 1 lousy little Turbo Timer and I have never been so gutted



Tokyo is absolutely barking mad, I have been all over the world and there are very few places that I do not want to ever go back to, but it rates very highly on that list unfortunatly.
So that is why I am asking for parts over here

Cheers for the replies folks. I would really like a photo of the grille on an old style scoob if poss, as I can't quite remember exactly how it looks. Without search working, I'm stuffed. Does a user called Juninho on here have one? I dunno why, but the name seems to ring a bell...
