the standard grille on a pickup is a part of the front panel.

[miniboo]

you can buy the steel pressed panel seperately and weld it in

am sure i have seen it in a hadrian panel catyalogue and i am sure m_machine will do it

Or you could attach it with those grill button things so the grills removable, so much easier for servicing etc.

i realy like the van fronts like that, i wonder if they can be attached to a fg/cf front n blended in somehow, would be nice and for access the whole front could be removable

[mini93]

looks good vanman realy like the style anyone any idea how to fit one to a fg front? bracket somhow i guess...

[Bam]

it depends if you want it blanded in or not.

[mini93]

blanded aey chris? that sumin similar to blending i did want it blending tho i think it would look better

Tempted to do this for mine aswell, like the look of the old van grilles, but would deffo need to make it detachable for easy access!

[minivanman]

I think they just look wrong when they're detachable. It was a PITA to get that fitting right when I welded it, so I'm not sure how you could make it removable and still have it look ok. It has a slight radius to it when its on the car, so taking it on and off is going to make it flex, which could crack your paint.

Someone must've done it! Think im gonna have to look into it

would be a good idea to have it welded in and have the front removable which i have decided i want on fg/cf front (am awear u cant weld to fg/cf )
