CarFreak88 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 go for it, there is only 2 ways it can go so 50/50 chance, you either muck up or it looks sweet, if it looks $h!t hot then you have a nice little unique piece to mention and if not, you will buy a honeycomb grill and will have learned a lesson so. That is how i see it anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 But then that wouldnt be unique......therefore defeting the purpose  It's unique to suck shit through a straw while stuffing a cactus up your arse but your not gonna condone that so why condone this waste of time! Do it!!!!

onehotminute_191 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 its funny how the qustion in the thread was to see a picture of it, yet its turned into and vote lol. if you want to do it do it. i wouldnt worry so much about other opinions. you might not even like it yourself but wait and see. as for the picture, i dont think anyone has any lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiz Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Go for it mate.The fact there aint no pictures means no ones done it so it will be unique.Better than just another honeycomb grill shoved in there Having sat and looked at one for ten minutes I reckon a jigsaw or cutting disc and 15 minutes will get you to a stage ready for filling with paste.I reckon it might look good as well...Colour coded might be perfect for something different.

MarkyMark Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Not a mk6 but its the same ideahttp://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i250/mark-walker_06/FordFair%2008/FF081.jpgIf i remember rightly the guy used two slatted grills, cut out the badge, cut off a straight piece from the other grill, fibreglassed it into place, filled, sanded and sprayed.
