Apart from it becoming much more flimsy after cutting, it would expose the coloured bodywork in the upper strips. I considered this myself a long time ago.

I honestly dont see why you guys like the open grills.... Just looks.... Like they ran out of plastic before finishing the grill off...

....We don't like anything which looks fake. But each to their own and we're not going to fall out over it! :cool:

lol.

Each to there own. But then again. Cleaning the open grills is probably easier unlike the closed ones.

Some advice. Stand back when using a high pressure cleaner and spraying the lower grills. Its sprays you back  :laugh:

Robin. Why not have the whole grill open and not just the small square bit? I know the fogs have to go somewhere but I think the whole thing open would look awesome.

I've seen fully cut-out parts on german ebay.
