Hey guys,

Been keeping this under wraps, but I have finally completed it, and ready to share the results with the world!

I had a brain wave a few weeks ago and after quite a bit of cutting, shaping, bogging, sanding, painting, etc... This is the final result...

A truly one of a kind custom grille... Enjoy guys!

Would look a lot better without the mitsubishi badge and the 'beak' I think, or at least without the 'beak'.

I kept the beak because i wanted to keep some of the original styling.

Looks really good man. But i have to agree, it'd look better without the 'beak'.

I think if he didn't have the "beak" the missing part of the top grille fin would be too noticable.

Nice neat job mate! :cool:

I like the 'beak' - gives it that OEM look with a hint of this must have been a Special Edition model look as well.
What would it look like without the Mitsu emblem or maybe a Black Mitsu emblem ?

Top work mate! :thumbsup:

Man gotta say that looks great.
I'm still anti beak, Looks like you just cut it sort of at the top and cbf sanding it down :P
Is this using the umm "special part" you were talking about? or is this all mitsu?
Looks very good man.
Wish I had holidays:bowrofl:

yeh, used that 'special part' i told ya about - Came up a treat.

Once you see it in real life, you'll notice the bonnet has a slight crease down the center, which flows well with the beak.

griile looks good mate kudos for something different!

NOW THAT is a truly classy piece of work,... chromed and everything, uve got a good eye and a talent there.

What wrong with his other eye?:bowrofl:

I like it alot, nice job!:)

Without the badge it'd look "empty".

Good work there. Ill get some measurements of my badge if you're still interested, though to be honest, your one looks great as is!

I like it but would look better if the black lines going across were chome

Nice work.

Personally dont like the badge. It doesnt fit, because it sits too far behind the 'beak'.

Looks really good. I reckon that along with the current mitsu look (chrome badge with the black backing) would look the shiz.
But really nice work imho

looks nice mate, well done

that is SWEET!

Does look a little strange with the hanging beak part and the mitsu badge there....
But kudos on the unique look mate, well done

well done mate this is wicked!

just out of curiosity what is the middle section made from? what grill did you originally use?

That looks sweet man! How did u get it chromed?

Check out the link in my signature and have a look at the car as a whole - maybe a little different when you see the entire car.

But thanks for the feedback. :)


ayne']well done mate this is wicked!

The Grille was an original TF grille with the vertical slats. The Middle section... well... trade secret... for now... lol

Let me have a one of a kind grille for a little while longer!

If you ask nicely, I may PM you what I used. lol


That looks sweet man! How did u get it chromed?

Was looking at getting it 'chromed' properly by a company that does a process called metalising, but its not a cheap option.

Instead I very carefully, and artistically used 12mm Chrome Pinstripe from Autobarn! lol You can only tell from about 30cms away.

Should last quite a while as the job I done was very particular.

We used to do that when I worked at Hella... and yeah, it is Hella expensive lol

it looks a little like a lancer grille the squareer looking lancers. but nice job in doing something original.

The middle section seems off VH Commodore. Very nice grille, well done.

No, I did my homeworklol

P.S. VH Commodore grille is a good alternative for mesh, ebay sells it for $30 bucks.
I love this photo, it matches your bumper grille. Perfect:clap:

makes me wish I still had the TH bonnet, instead of the TJ :cry:

TH front with TJ rear = ultimate

Yuha, bit more work involved than the mesh in terms of correct shaping and attachment to the grille though.

But, obviously, can be done! lol

I've got a TJ front and TH rear, does that still count?? :D
