Has anyone thought of adding a Mesh grille (Stainless steel or Aluminium) in the radiator opening, behind the front number plate ? This could also be applied to the front wing vents where the X-Men car has the two Aluminium strips. Any thoughts ?
To show off the new face can the number plate be offset (a la Alfa 156) to the nearside ?

Anil.

Just like in my other cars, Stainless, with a coat of Midnight Matte Black.
I have the mesh, I just need my '8'!!

Hi Anil, I like that idea too!

I thought about this late last year and did a photoshop version ...

... I had this idea of taking the front air-intake grill out and addind an inner color inset around the edge of the grill to match the color of the seats ..

I also had some other ideas to explore that I also posted, but I havent had the time. Maybe someone with better photoshop skills and the desire could add some more thoughts

:)
For the curious, here's my past post:
