If I could see option 4 in a 3D render or something I might not hate it quite so much. Option 1 or 2 are your friends.
Option 3 or option 4 big audi style grille / evo x :D
i did option one.. although my foggies were a little bigger... looks sweet
... untill a foggie comes out and drags along the ground while pulling out all the mesh... and not noticing for about 15mins still strangers start pointing and telling you your bumper is falling off...
(so yea.. dont forget screws for foggies lol).

I like number 4 though maybe take the lip out of the top so it doesn't look as much as a love heart ?

well alot of you like number 4 and i do have a spare front bar n grill lying around so if its not to hot on the weekend i might get started on a 300c magna blend, but i'll check ebay for some front grills n draw up a side shot n angle shot of it 2nite. the only thing that can stop me is finding a piece of mesh/grill to fill that hole, anyone got any ideas

I picked up an original factory 300C grill off of eBay just to hang on my wall at home. $50. Keep an eye out on eBay for them, as the same seller sells them from time to time. There is one of those Bentley style grills for sale here in Aus, but they're charging $400 for it.
And hey, if you do it and do it right, and want to make a mould and reproduce a few copies, you'd have a buyer over here!

i wouldnt mind trying it then modifing the rear n side skirts to suit the style of the front. plus if i can get my hands on some blank rims i can machine up my set of custom rims at work

I showed my boss the new drawings of option 4 and he said i can start working on it at work when ever we start to slow down, which i hope is soon because i spent my whole lunch drawing it up on master cam n working out how iam gonna do it, so fingers crossed work slows down n i can get to work on it.
Righty

no.4 would be very different and unique, so i'd like to see you go for that. But i'd make it less of a V - doesn't suit the magna shape, try the 300c/bently type grilles

25-01-2007, 04:55 PM
mate if you manage to do it, it WILL be the most unique TE ever lol Good luck with it if you start it... and of course supply lots of pictures!

what is #4 going to look like with the actual bar, not skin, behind it. I doubt that i can be cut and removed and still comply with adr's. I could be wrong. If the bar is still there it will be very visible and look crappy i think.
Just a thought.
Good on you for looking at somethin unique
Cheers

i just did a quick chop on my verada.. obviously you'd have to modify the front bar a bit

That looks awsome, would you be able to strech the grill down to the top of the bottom lip, and i think i might start it next week, work back at work so i can get it done, thanks for all your in puts. and i will be taking pictures all the way.
