Hi guys
one of the members here gave me an idea to start making a new design for F/L front grill as M&S is the only one availabe, fitment might not be so great and outer part is realy flimsy, not enough meat.
I don't have any finalised ideas, sketches or photchops of this grill but my idea is to make outer part thicker and stronger, and center bridge smaller (narrower) but big enough for licence plate frame and with opening for tow hook.
I would like to hear some ideas, suggestions and maby get some photochop so we can visualise our ideas to get some felling as to how final product might look.
I don't have any estimate on the price of grill or mold yet as the guy who would make this (Fazer company hasn't got the time to check my email and he will be away for vacation until august 4th) but it should be similar to the price of of M&S grill.
This grill would not be classic fiberglass grill with smooth front side and rough back side but smooth from both sides, ensuring proper fit and finsih. Actualy two molds are made, one for front side and another for back side so material basicaly gets pressed inbetween. It could be made in fiberglass and carbon fiber.
So here is what you have stock:
And here is M&S grill:
Center part is just a copy of original, basicaly whole grill is OEM design without the blades, not much difference.
Let me hear some ideas on what you like and what you don't like, what would you want from your grill, what features etc.
Hope to get some interest so we could realy start making quality good looking and different front grill for a car that deserves it!
Thank you for you inputs guys
