Always liked the look of these but never had the courage to have a go my self. Since I've been smoothing my rear bumper I've gained a bit of confidence and decided I was gunna give it a go. This is what I'm talking about.
I managed to get hold of a standard grill for nothing and set up on it with my tools
Once the slats where cut off and sanded I had to find a way to fill the gaps left. I tried to do a bit of plastic welding but it is a bit intricate for the heat gun I have so was near impossible. What I did in the end was cut the shape of the gap form one of the slats to give me a piece that would fill the gap best as possible. The plan was to then cover is front and back with some plastic filler. This seems to have worked ok and it all feels quite solid.
Next step is to fill all the little gaps in the filler some more and then get it all nice and smooth. Then I will use an OEM R32 centre mesh grill and attach that to the backing of the standard grill. Not to sure how I'm going to do that yet as I'm kind of working it all out as I go along
More updates soon....
