    That looks quite mean. I'd bet it is a home made job, and a good one of that looking how neat it is.
    Just some finishing touches to do now

      I posted this thread about a year ago. I have since talked to the owner of that car. it is 2 FK (if i remember correctly) badgeless grills cut and made into one.

              Thank you for your help,

              the problem is that the elipsoids have a diferent slope on the inner side and these grills will leave a space on the top part to the elipsoids and wont do.

              As for the streachting the one in the pic. is diferent from all the after market I´ve seen on ebay.

              Probably I could heat one of these up and strecht a bit to fill the gap.

              If you take a closer look at the one in the pic. you´ll see it as round edges in ends of the horizontal fins and doesn´t look a regular grill strecht cause all others have perpendicular angles where the horizontal fin ends.

                    make your own with a grill that looks like it'll have the same contour and the right bar height... i got lucky with mine... don't ask what it's off of, blasphemy!


                    matches the contour of the hood well

                    crappy picture, but it shows how easy it is to make it fit well


                    ok... i guess i may be overdoing it with the pictures, but hey, people like pictures!

                      Very helpeful everybody, thank you!

                      In the end I´ll do it one way or the other.

                      I must confess though that said grill caught my eye and heart!

                            You really are a very helpfull group!

                            I´ve been through the FK catalog and there are some nice grills to either cut and paste or heat and stretch.....but none of them are like the one in the picture although nice.

                            What about this JOM ones where can I look at them?

                            And a big applause to MARO for the brilliant work his grill is phenomenal I would never guess it was cut and paste job!
