i wanna modify my VX grill, but im unsure how to...
What do you actually want to do? Buy the chrome grill inserts? new Bumper With the grill (Such as clubby etc)
i wanna modify my current grill, like the clubby yeah but with the S Pack bumper
If its the bar im thinking it is, you have to cut out the old grill. If your wanting to do somthing like so---
Its pretty easy. Just grind out the fins in the middle. and insert some mesh.
Unless your grill is removable, then just wack in a chrome grill or manta grill or somthing
What did you use to cut out the standard platic part of your grill? And what did you use to get all the edges so smooth before you sprayed it silver? Thats the exact look I want on my VU
Well firstly to cut the fins out i just used a jig saw. which was kinda dodgy lol, But you can use a dremel tool or grinder etc
Once the fins are cut off you will still have around 1cm on every fin because you wont be able to grind right next to the edge as they are curved. So i whipped out a small mouse sander and went to town on it.
This isnt much use to anyone but i have 1 for sale :P my second one broke as i didn't tighten it on and it snapped off while i was driving at 110km/h lol
Ah ok cool. Thanks Man. What sort of paint did you use?
im pretty sure you cant do that on a VX because the grills are apart off the front bumper unlike the VT in the pic
but if you end up doin it post some pics, i wouldnt mind changing mine
the grill on the vx is part of the bumper and after the grill there is more bumper. so do i need to use filler to make it smooth then put the mesh behind it?, i got a silver commy should i go for a black mesh, and i am also interested in putting mesh in the gap on the front bumper any help would be appreciated cheers
im interested here to! id love to do the same to mine
