you know how some vents have downward facing horizontal lines... i would suggest something like that... it looks good in my head :)

So say about 2 or 3 horizontal bars, slightly downward facing...

Youre a trend man, goodluck with it :)

Just to let you know I was one of the first to do the Letterbox mod, if YOU do a search you will see my name pop up and do you mean like this with the badge.

I was one of the first to do it with the TH grill I did it in Sept 2003, before me was 2much with a TF grill, he gave me the inspiration to do it.


I'm now thinking of doing the same again or maybe something different

A grill machined from a solid piece of material :D not that it would make any sense labour and cost wise.

A bit hard to make a billet out of a grill I already have.

and anyway I don't have a CNC machine.

..GONE..

but my grill survived. but it bent the crap out of my bonnet

However you want, Billet means - "machined from a solid piece"
IE: not cast, moulded or pieced together.

As said a billet grill is just that- a machined grill- not a surround with no grill:D
