im thinking of cutting the bottom grill out and putting some nice black mesh there.

whats peoples opinions?
i just fancy doing something to it and being a bit different by keeping the pre 97 bumper as everyone seems to change them. (also getting a black irmy splitter next weekend for it).

well i actually did it 2day, had to do it with the bumper on tho as it was pissing me off and after taking all the screws off the last 2 i couldnt get to . so left it on and masked it to buggery.
heres the end result

quite poor up close but from a distance not too bad but ill be getting the bumper resprayed in a few months so its just to see whether i like it or not.
opinions (sorry for the essay)
