Tidied Up Now
« on: 07 July 2010, 08:54 »
After the fmic had been installed i still wasn't happy with the centre lower grille that i trimmed it was still a little tight at each end of the cooler core  :laugh: so yesterday i trimmed it back to follow the contour of the bumper thus giving alot more clearance now  :smiley: got in from work earlier and trimmed the upright piece behind one side of the hose as it was tight against it now thats got clearance and sorted out the visible jubilee clip with abit of paint so it doesn't stand out anymore maybe i'm a little picky but it just finishes it off :afro:  :grin:




least i don't have to do the job tonight now when i get up  :rolleyes:

personally i'd leave it how it is. Black attracts heat and the cooler the air the better. I know it probs wont make a massive different.

Will your middle grille not fit now?

just seen your reply mate.You could be right but been thinking of a little idea today that will involve a little bit of painting on it just got to sort it first  :wink: :lipsrsealed:

i think the middle grille does go back in but tbh i like it not fitted so it shows off the fmic more  :evil:
