this is what id like it too look like nothing majour done to it just a bit different
smooth off all the little ridges at the sides keep the long one across the bottom, cut out the bottom grill and black mesh/paint it black, and smooth over the toe eye, then bad boy + extended bonnet.

my back ones been smoothed over, not going to be towing any1 soon so not bothered, ideally you need your front one for reasons stated, you could get a removable one(one that screws in) just incase?
