Grill Trim

[Jamie R]

Would someone please tell me what sort of trim has been used around the grill of this car? I want to do something like this to my car but I'm not sure what it is.

Thanks

It was all custom fibre glassed.

Sorry I'm mean the strip trim on the grill where the gtr badge is

Thats what he ment

 

[Jamie R]

What that thin strip?

 

[micra racer]

Yup the guy seems to be very good with fiberglass judging by the rest of his car

 

[Jamie R]

Okay then, what sort of trip could you use, keeping in mind that there is a slight lip on the edge of the metal

 

[micra racer]

Trip?

I think you could make something similar out of three grilles - a left one, a right one and the centre section of another one....all joined together and fitted into a hole (if you cut straight across from one grille hole to the other)

I guess you could feasibly use that chavvy Chrome stripping stuff right upto the edge?
....Pops up on offer at Aldi/Lidl occasionally ^_^

...I mean...you'd want to paint it or course.....unless you can find it in a colour version (instead of chrome)

Thanks for the help. Yeah, I don't like chrome like that, I have found a guy who has done it but he has ground down the small 90° lip. Just wondering if I would have to do that

I just sprayed mine matte/satin black

Looks good. It I want to do the whole "single grill" thing. I like your tow strap, I want to get one soon, was it easy to take the old bar off?

 

[McMicra]

the hook is a PITA but its easy enough if you've patience, 3 bolts but 1 you can only unscrew about 10th a turn at a time so takes Aggeees haha

Ditto, simple black grille inserts are very underated. Nicer than the chrome bling ones but still OEM enough at the same time.

Because it will be so rusty?
