Sneak peak

[Dark_Hero]

I have provisionally finished my DIY grille, so here are a couple of sneaky pics

Upper:

Lower:

When the weather gets a little better I will give them a coat of paint to finish them up :-)

I'm really impressed so far :-)

[ricardo_smooth]

[Hungry Horace]

Thanks. It's a Pasty Boy special. He's usually doing a group buy on them :-)

[Fabia_19]

Looking good there fella

You did it then... Nice work dude, very tidily done.

I also used a thin netting mesh to go behind my top grille to make it less

easy to see I can't afford a FMIC :p It was part of a fly screen curtain.

I have to do my lower grille still but I'll be putting my new head unit in first

I reckon. It arrives tomorrow. Can't wait.

[Dark_Hero]

Oh cool, hope my pic gives you an idea of how to do the lower one :-)

What head unit have you got?

[grr666]

What head unit have you got?

This one, I got a 160gb ipod for xmas and the Sony in the car now doesn't support it. (it's quite old...)

To replace it,

I wanted something that could display in any colour, so I can match it to the green in the car.

I also wanted full control of the ipod and a rear usb entry cord which I can feed into

the glovebox. Additionally you can also control the ipod directly if you want so

my co pilot can play DJ

Lastly I wanted a front usb socket as well as I use memory sticks for music as well.

This seemed to fit the bill and I like the idea of a touch bar for list scrolling.

They also do one with bluetooth capability for a phone for about £20 more but I already

have a Parrot kit fitted so I went for the cheaper option.

Looking very nice! Just what I want to do with mine.

Very nice :-)

The Pioneer one I got had the colour changing option. Matches my blue dash perfectly now

[Stormchaser]

Very nice

What mesh did you use in the top grille?

Is it an easy job?

[Dark_Hero]

Here's another quick pic I got in the daylight. It's a little dirty tho.

[Babs]

Looks good, where's the mesh from?

The mesh looks good bud. Much better than the slates.

[vindaloo]

Looks very niice but you forgot the fog appertures.

Could look better with them done too IMO.

Potential honeycomb mesh overload.

Grille & lower bit looks good though!

With the horizontal bars and fogs in front I think it'd work.
