If you can get number 1 done i deffo would, I thought about smoothing in but it's not a perfect fit.

yeah im going to dig my old grill out if i can find it, im guessing i will need another grill to add the slats, then ill fibreglass them in or glue them first then fibreglass them, ill want the slats painted in a gloss black or matt black anyway
then i can try them both on and see what they look like, cheers alex for giving me bloody ideas :p

Thats crazy..i've actually been thinking of dong grille 1 for the last few days!! Didn't realise it had been done before!! thought I was being original. Oh well.
Have to say it doesn't look as good as I had pictured in my minds eye..although may look better coded on a black vtr. Will have to whack up a quick photoshop.

Standard

9th March 2008, 17:01
Grill 1 pred.
grill 2 looks too sharp and edgy (may sound stupid) but it doesn't flow with the rest of the car imo

9th March 2008, 17:02
Standard
amen...

Number 1.. yano my opinion counts more lol
Predator_R32
9th March 2008, 17:26
cheers jim but tbh i dont really like carbon fibre bonnets anymore, and i lie me bumper mouth standard, im just :homme:
bullit - your just a tart, go and clean my car, im not really going for a look but alex's grill looked good and ive been wanting to get my bonnet done for a while (gritters have raped it) so i may as well do something different to it before it gets painted

grill 1
sharpie
9th March 2008, 19:45
so i may as well do something different to it before it gets painted
no point in changing it for the sake of it - i like your car but standard is definitely the nicest.

Grill 1, never seen it before looks really good. Anyone think it would look better if it has the vertical slats taken out from the bumper mouth. So then horizontal slats slats on the grill and bumper if you know what i mean

fancy helping me with my grill? lol meshing it and making the chevrons a darker colour?
Predator_R32
10th March 2008, 17:20
well once ive got the other grill to make the slats out of you can have the surround to mesh and paint the chevrons, easy to do :y:

ive only took the back part off :p
marked out where i need to trim stuff off and that was it
tomorrows job will be to trim and maybe get a bit of fibreglass on where the chevrons are to be taken off

10th March 2008, 20:58
if your going with style 1 then personally i would paint the slat in the bottom grill black to match the slats in the bonnet

10th March 2008, 21:21
grill 1:y:
craig180
10th March 2008, 22:11
Standard
Agree:/
Either that or a standard one smoothed in with the slats removed and meshed
Predator_R32
10th March 2008, 23:14
well i can try different grills as it will just be the inserts that ill change once its smoothed, ill have to find a way of doing it though
the bottom grill wont be getting touched for sure i like it the way it is :)
