    Lightbulb VR/VS Nightrider grille - Opinions?

    See photoshopped attachment. Pic was originally from Social - I blacked out your number plate but let me know if you want the pic gone.
    Has it been done?
    Like/dislike?
    Maybe some of that white automotive mesh from SCA in the upper and lower gaps?

    Don't do it.




    Look at my DP that's my car it pretty much has no grill so I like to see myself as an individual of some degree lol

    But yeah they look awesome without grill.
    If you can't see it properly I'll up pic if need be.

    you can't simply "remove your grill"... have a look at a vs bumper and think about it for a second

    ok lets try this from the top...

    the vs manta grill is a seperate part to the vs manta front bumper...

    however, in this guys case, he could carefully modify his standard bumper to house the vs manta grill and it would look virtually the same.

    Ok if any photoshoppers out there feel the need to photoshop this grill onto a stock bar feel free haha.
    Was just wondering as my mate wrote of his clubby and saved the grill off it.
