Looks great. I wonder if I can do this on my Zetec, really adds class to the front end.

It looks really well done.

How wide was the strip that you used and where is the join?

I bought some 3mm wide chrome off EBay to do the wifes car, but haven't gotten up the goolies to try it yet.

I also plan to do the ribs on either side of the Ford badge on the grill.
