    Now that is a nice motor Dave, looks real nasty with those lights and wheels... I'm sure you didn't have them at the Evil triangle? Were those the 19"s you were talking about?

    Who thinks Franks car looks better with the eggcrate grill? The more i look at them both the more i like the eggcrate.... it somehow looks more menacing....
    maybe i should put my eggcrate back on.

    i think the black mesh grill looks more menacing with a little R in the corner, Dave had those wheels stolen last year, yet he has just bought some more lol (probably the same ones lol)

    Pmsl!!.... You prob sold them to him under a different name.

    Photo's never give you a true picture.... I always thought the black mesh grill would be more in your face... but the more i compare your pic's the eggcrate is growing on me. Until you see a car face to face i think it's difficult to tell on here.

    My car is an exact clone of yours!.... No mate it's a Bulgarian flag that you can see.

    And here's me thinking that i was being clever putting it there!

    When you think about it though, there isn't that many places you could put it.

    I think i might change my grills over today and see if i like the look more.

    As Frankie said - they got 'arf inched during the winter 2010/11 - for which I receive no insurance - a real PITA. You can compare the photos with the original & egg crate grill in my garage (linky to the left & below).

    I have some new-ish 19s to go on for next season.

    put some pic's up Dave when you get em fitted, i bet you were sick to the stomach. They looked really nice on the motor, i can see why they scrubbed your arches now.

    Dave that link is amazing, it took me straight to my garage. I'm sitting here with an amazed and confused look on my face (pretty normal for me) i really am a numpty when i comes to computers and cars. Thanks :-)

    Today i painted the eggcrate Black and put it back on as i thought Franks looked good... Now i'm thinking the Black mesh looks better. I think it is the light on Franks pic that was making the eggcrate look slightly different.

    This is an S40 slash on an A/M chrome grill - which I sprayed the mesh silver. R badge was added later.

    I realise this has nothing to do with it with the price of fish but I thought it was cool.

    Hi Adrian, mate it has been driving me mad!

    I now think that after fitting the eggcrate it just screams gay! So Black mesh with Black projectors (in the future) have you got HIDs in yours?
