Wow, looks pretty smart that, 8)

:idea: how about a 3D printer for the grill of your choice/design, made to measure?

(better if its made to fit :roll: :wink: :wink: :D )

3d print for the centre grill would complete the look. Offering a service?

Sorry no, wish I could, I'd have a few projects myself if I could, but just seen some pretty cool stuff coming from them lately.

Hello all, I'm a newbie! Should probably post somewhere else about me being new here but I've been following random styling and facelift threads on this forum for a while now and it's about time I get at least a bit more involved.

Just thought I'd mention briefly that this style front end here looks excellent, and I'm so keen to do this on my transit.

Hats off, this transit looks more ace than a pet detective. 8)
