Hi, was thinking about cutting the grill bar with badge out of a pre 97 front bumper (have one in the shed)
But i dont really want to colour code the top half, as that means getting the arches and rear bumper top all sprayed.
So i was wondering is there any way to gut the bar out, and smooth the sides off (so there erent holes where the bar was)
??
cheers

probably not, it'd look a mess, get a post 97 front with a mesh grille, much better

yeah kinda thought that.
Just i like the style of the older bumper (cars going rally style and just think the older bumper looks more sporty)
Will have to get it c/coded then
any1 else?
As i know a guy that bought a std saxo with black plastic bumpers. There was a wee dent in the bumper, and he got it fixed (bargained it into the sale) They filled the dent,(not a new bumper) and looks like new, and it didnt get painted?

cut the grill out and replace it with a grill, fk or kamie or what ever you like as it will hide the cutting.

If so, because its something different, and cheap too.
