i didnt have the stock grille so i bought mesh from autobarn screwed it in place bent the exess 90 degrees away from the body then unscrewed it and rotated it around and it slid strait in.

i put a blue neon undeneath the bonnet and wired it in with the parkers looks good and i havent polished the engine parts yet!

with the debumpeed front it looks like a lil camaro or ford escort

super cool,

if you don't polish the engine gear, maybe get some fly wire (finer mesh) to sit behind it and black it out a bit more.

whats the legalities on having your headlights covered like that or are you going to cut them out?

how does your bonnet attach?

the bar that supports the bonnet support panel is gone but the panel is still there hidden underneath the bonnet lip

dont know about the legalitys but cars round my way have shade cloth over there front ends to protect the raditors from the plague of locusts here, and cops havent pulled anyone up on it, accept for covered numberplates??

Looks nice, but about the neon light. I think it might be illegal to have a blue light like that, reserved for emergency vehicles etc.

As said, I'd check the legalities, but I love it. :wink:

The black with the white looks great!

you can buy mesh covers for 7" round headlights... and you get range rovers with protective guards on their headlights... always good to check though.

Yeah I've got mesh grills on my headlights that have gone through several roadworthies, but the mesh is not hear as dense as that black mesh.

:wink:
