lol, It's actually good to look at all the things i've done in one list.

And counting up all the things i've done. It's really not that much.

Stereo will be marked off the list next month. And hopefully get some more power towards the end of the year. :

I also wanna finish off my interior :Up_to_som

Yeap, the AU C2R grill isn't that good compared to some of the factory ford grills

cheers.

A couple of inches bigger? man they're 19x9.5 rear, 19x8.5 front and they barely fit the car as it is.. rofl..
The grill is better than the stocko one, its toughened up the front of the car and i'm pretty happy with it. I wouldn't do a T3 front on my car ever because it'd make my car look like a snow plow not having the rest of the kit, i'm pretty happy with the look of it.

I spose it all comes down to personal taste though.. i could say the same about the AU XR front.

Each to there own..Yer but in order to have jimt3te59's grill, you have to have the whole front bar. Then to make the car look right you would have to get the side skirts and rear bar to match = whole new body kit. Glennauii already had his kit and to make it look more agressive and fat got a C2R / Havoc grill which has given him a very unique combination kitted car.
Go the Concept 2 Reality.

What standard factory grill would look better???

Forte / Futura - very plain & boring
XR - totally different front of car
Fairmont - added a bit of chrome around the edge and honeycomb centre.

Most, not all, on here that have or are body kitting there car usually change the grill for something else.
You may or may not be aware, but as an option your could actually get a for C2R, badged Havoc, bodykit on your brand new AU straight from your Ford dealer.

[SVR73]

Glenny, you have done some nice work on that car
I remember seeing pics of it a few years back, was a different car back then
Now it's lovely

hang on to it

My bus is fairly stock, with the series 1 bodykit and bi plane spoiler (top one unpainted)
just got modded intake mouth, slotted rotors all round, 18 inch shadowchrome wheels and AVS ES100 tyres
2.5 inch zorst with twin tips (larger than the stock XR ones)

needs lowering by about 18-20mm
love it to bits though. not one anywhere with factory interior and paint in this condition. gets tonnes of TLC

It has the show shine, just needs extra go

well you have the futura grille, the forte grill is the vertical line one on the au1's and the horizontal one on the 2's and 3's, the xr is the horizontal one but is part of the bumper, and the c2r is the one in the pictures above, and the hawk one basically isnt even a grille, its more of a frame with mesh in the middle

I didn't say that the fairmont grill would look nice. I simply explained the different grill that came from the factory. With the exception of T series which is one piece front bar and grill, I like the C2R/Havoc grill the most and thats why my wifes got one on her AU.

I like that grill too but its not agressive looking enough. I needed mine to be tough looking. :

Hmm, well then your best shot is an XR grill or a grill like jimt3te50's, i think that's a hawk grill, correct me if i'm wrong

No, as previously posted, XR fronts and T series fronts are a one piece front bar and grill. It's not a hawk eye grill.
Next time your having a look at your engine, have a quick look at the grill and you will find that your grill and front bar are all one piece.

Ummm, mate i was trying to point out that if you really want a tough mean look get an XR grill or T series (thanks for correcting me) grill (obviously meaning he has to get a complete front end considering he has a factory body kit anyway). Sorry if i didn't make it clear enough..

Cheers.

[AU3 HERROD XR8]

A XR front end would be more mean and tough looking with its projector head lights rather that the normal ones
