gonna stencil the old grill back onto the intercooler to keep some of the looks. but i didn't think i would like good as i cut the light brackets (almost in tears) and the grill. but it looks cool... im glad it turned out ok.. just have to bracket up the grill a bit more to make it straighter.

maybe jacko could hold it out the window whilst you drive rob? he can throw cold water at it as you boost! Old-sckool shotgun rules!!
seriously though it does a job and looks scary! (for more than one reason)

Im more than willing....
Im also deadly serious about GIVING you a new grill.
Why didn't you just stick the std grill back on and play around with that first?

Jacko, paint your ass black with a 'i' in the middle and you could stand in as Sults grill for a while.
Gauranteed to make your drag strip opponents think twice before racing

What I respect about you Rob is you seem to do your modifying on the side of the road.
Looks functional and menacing.

now that is just looking weird... can't even decide if it's good or bad! But full marks for the fact that it's mental 
I recon paint it black... might work better also, although not too thickly dude
