Default Good price for a Blobeye grille?

I want to debadge the grille on my 04 WRX but I want to do this on a spare grille so if I **** it up it doesn't matter and if I change my mind I can swap it back. I've been bidding on Ebay for one but suddenly there's another bidder who has a 39% history of bidding on the seller's items, which to me looks dodgy as he sells all sorts of crap. I've the feeling he's one of his mates trying to bump the price up

I don't know how high to go, how much do they normally go for and has anyone got a spare one?

I had the same dilema before I did mine. I put a pic of my car into the basic paint program in the computer and took the badge off, then compared the photos. Its an easy job though. Needs a bit of filler and some time.

if you don't win it i've got a spare from a WRX, it hasn't got a badge and one of the clips has broken (1 of the 2 bottom clips, don't know if it will be loose?) but you're welcome to it for some postage

cheers, Paul

Well I didn't win, It ended up going for quite a lot more than I expected, I think his mate bought it!

Azz, if you click on 'bid history' and then on one of the bidders it shows 'Bid activity (%) with this seller'. The winner had 40%

Paul, pm sent
