hi,plastic welded a ghia grille,au and ba bar together,then fiber glassed the joins,after that i cut the grille area out to attach the te50 grille,which was genuine,given to me by a mate! uses all factory mounts,driven lights ect.many hours of f....n about but worth it.

That's a fantastic effort mate. Something different and it looks top quality. Would love to see the daylight shots at some not-so-close angles!

I look forward to following your progress. I really like it when people go to that much effort to do things themselves, which is a little different to the standard mods.

saw this up close and personal on sunday
looks AWESOME!!! the curves in the bar match the curves of the headlights etc (how they are sort of swoopy) will be awesome once the skirts etc go on!

Hell yes!!! that is so hot, when i first heard about this i was worried it'd look tacky like a those vn's with the vx and xy bodykits on them. but i've gotta say that looks f@*#in' hot! it looks so sleek a lot of people wouldn't notice it at first
pity i've already got my front bar -missus would kill me if i brought another one.
