ok so i started a custom honeycomb grill like the one evo2345 did, still unfinished but will show the prgress im making with it, i beleive i will be the 2nd mk4 ibiza to have one of these if it turns out well enough, i still have to filler in the S logo holder, smooth all the filler down and then primer and paint anthrecite, then add a red lip and finish by putting the S logo back in, also in anthrecite.

nah all kinda comes apart as one, depending how u cut it cout i guess, im using the most usless tools i had lying around lol, a hack saw blade (no handle) kinda hurts ur hands a bit, and then various bits n bobz nothing special required really, sanding down the filler is a job on its own, im trying files also but its tough stuff

yeh i kinda fuc*ed it trying to put the s back in, i had a feeling it would spear, the paint has to go on thick making it tight to get the s back in and in turn it smears the red and looks crap so i forced it in and will re-paint it all again :(:(, may end up not putting it on if it looks gash
