Default Anyone have the exploded parts view of the B3 front end? (Grill assembly)...

So when I bought my 20v the front grill has always sat inward on the bottom and not lined up with the headlights (nowhere near flush) and I believe im missing some parts to make it do this but I have no idea what is supposed to be there to begin with. Anyone have the etka blowup or something alike?

Default I think I have a european etka...

the bumper may be different but am not sure if euro b3s had different bumpers than american ones. The grill should be the same though.

Default Well there was some front end damage and the headlights are mucked up...

It looks like the front headlights are mounted off, the grill isnt mounted properly, and I have a large gap between thw trim that lies beneath the headlights and the front bumper. So Whatever the case Im sure this is going to be a drawn out process to realign everything in the front properly. I noticed a lot of zipties and some losse items when I did my timing belt and also noticed the headlights werent mounte dproperly (the top mounting screws arent in the proper position).

I figured I would really dig in when I get a new set of headlights (these ones have damage).
