What have people done in the way fo custom grills, or even just the standard grills?
I will be getting rid of my bloody chrome bubble grill off the lane shortly, and thinking of something a bit out of the ordinary. So i was wondering what people have done. If people could post a picture of there grills, it would be appreciated. CHeers BEN

Dunno if theres much you can do apart from fit a NF fairlane grille which looks better than the NL type, or mesh a EF Fairmont grille and add chrome strip around the edge of the mesh to tidy it up.
PM 'low ghia' he will tell you how he did his

Yeah i really dont know what they were thinking with the NL grill, it is just way out there and looks cheap and nasty!
I dunno, ive been thinking of something custom (as in getting a shop to make one up form scratch), but i really dont know where to start with designing one. I really dont mind where the design comes from, as long as it looks goo on the e series shape.

colour change grille...
chrome when u look at it straight on and it changes to gold the more of a angle you move to, or if your in the shade straight on-- hard to get a pic cos of the mirrored backing behind the mesh

How much did that cost you mate? What would you sell a grill liek that for? eg if i sent mine up and you chromed it and added the grill? It looks awsome but will go good with the EL Fairmont moulds rather that the EF ones IMO |

It looks awsome but will go good with the EL Fairmont moulds rather that the EF ones IMO costs are paint stripper, few sheets sandpaper, autosol, acrylic clear, mesh. As for how much would i charge, prolly heaps lol.....your better off having a go at it yourself mate, its not too hard
Ive got it on the car now, and it looks nice but needs more chrome in the front bar to help it blend in more EL chrome moulds look ugly in my opinion...... dunno what to do really? |
