grill meshing the hole was a mare!
so instead the siliocon tubing has gone
around the bumper and new grill mesh
is being bought to go behind and fixed
to the back of the bumper.
Image

in the meantime have started work
on a wind splitter made from 5mm plastic
Image
Image

also need to get a drivers side headlight
as mine has a crack, before I fit this lot up.
few more weeks waiting yet!
