Thinking of cutting the grill piece (the hole in the middle of the bumper) out and replacing it with a mesh to match the grill. Jus after some pics for ideas? Thanks :drink:

This is possible but as the front horizontal cross bars come close to the front edge of the bumper you wont be able to leave much of a lip for fixing to without filling and smoothing where the bars meet.

can fill and smooth it or just cut the full mouth off and fix the mesh to the rear of the bumper

Cheers lads all of them look great work :drink:. Yes mines a flat arch but im after a vt front bumper really but doesent the bumper stick out on the bottom of the wings as on the vt kit it fits straight onto the arch and on mine it would just finish with the wing
