front lower grill 'South fishponds' style
I have been doing a few new mods on my van latley (new porsche interior/ respray/ welding new floor in! doh! ) and have also modded my front grills,i have made a de-badged front top grill (as you seemingly cant buy them!) and what ive heard are called 'south fishponds' (source ref: camper and bus march 2009 article on t25 headed going for gold) front lower grill.
This looks a bit like a south african lower front grill but does not wrap all the way around the indicators and doesn't cost in excess of a hundred pounds either!!
the build was fairly straight forward needing the use of 2 doner grills which i have cut up, elongated and put back together filled any gaps with body filler and finished in a nice satin black top coat to match the de badged top grill.
i have tried to down load some pics of the build on here but am having massive difficulty with the size of the foto files or something!! (im not very computer minded!!) if anyone knows what im doing wrong please help!! as the mod looks great!
if you're not mechanically minded like myself and would like something similar drop me a line and id be happy to make you one up for considerably less than a S.A. front lower grill costs!!
