Im wanting a badgeless grille which basically is just straight across without the badge or whats behind it
Ive got an old grill which i was thinking of filling and sanding to the correct shape but not sure if thats the easiest way to do it or not
Have any of you gone about making one this way? Or have any other ways or pics of it?
Thanks

the one that was on my car when i got it was home made, the badge was taken out and filled with fibre glass, filled sanded and painted, would of worked well apart from the fact that whoever done it was about as skilled as a monkey

Ah yeah i see now, its same as Ruffys almost aint it, just looks like a huuuuge gap, but the ones that fill the gap totally look stupid
Ill look into that then for £40 but am still going to have a go at doing my own
