with a red background behind a lense, this could look like a rear light, which is illegal on the front of a car, just watch out for plod

i wasnt to impressed with the outcome but that is one out of the two i had planned for the grille,placed against the car it looks surprisingly ok,if i dont put it on the plan 2,respray the outer clear plastic and the strategically insert 3/4 vents in it with black mesh behind.

you can get away with not taking the bumper off if you're really careful

Need to mind the lower brackets, as they can snap quite easily...

It's a faff - but less of a faff than trying to find all the bumper bolts

well said put grille on today first attempt i thought no way the bumpers got to come off,then i thought no way and guess what.....SNAP....one lower bracket gone but it was off and the new one on.
and it looks better than i imagined.each to their own.

PICTURE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Tom

HAMMY7387 · 27th November 2007, 18:46

yeah would love to see it on the car

Unknownsoldier · 27th November 2007, 19:10

If I did it the one thing I'd try different is:

Masking off the bits behind the "black plastic bits" (if you see where I mean), then they'd be shiny behind the black bit, might look good, might look like s*ite, never know till you try

Does this also mean you may have a Type R grill for sale??

civic_jaso · 28th November 2007, 18:21

robbo51 · 28th November 2007, 18:29

In a word...NO!!
Put the Type R Grill back on!!

HAMMY7387 · 28th November 2007, 18:39

Dont think it looks great but hard to say in a picture.

Definetly good to be different though

bucketp · 28th November 2007, 19:16

Sorry dont like it, but hey, each to their own.

TTDegs · 28th November 2007, 20:12

Now I rather like that

combines the spaceship look of the plastic whilst being different from a non-R

yep, I'd be happy with it

fennj · 28th November 2007, 20:58

It's original and takes a bit of getting used to but I quite like. Prefer the Type R grill though you can't beat a red H.

Unknownsoldier · 28th November 2007, 21:04

I really like it and it would look great on a NHB car.

Agreed,
Would look good in NHB or Silver, But still not sure about Red!

Munro · 28th November 2007, 21:33

I think it looks OK, but the Type R grill is much better.

Dimplyred · 28th November 2007, 22:12

Its very individual and if you like it then great. It looks ok but I prefer the type R grill.

Unknownsoldier · 28th November 2007, 22:15

But every man and his dog has the Type R grill, and it no longer looks special, this looks just enough different to warrant a second head flick.
