Machina is an unknown quantity at this point
for all the DIY-ers...did you really put the mesh up to the bumper or did you not first use cardboard to make an outline....that way there would have been no scratches...I'm gunna be tackling my DIY lower grille this week and will not be putting the mesh anywhere near the bumper until I first have an exact fitting piece of cardboard....

ak, if you wanted to make some cash on the side, say $5 per person, why don't your trace the grille you are getting when it comes in the mail and help all us lower grille wanters and sell us an outline for $5...what do you think??

I didn't make an outline, i wasn't smart enough.

That's a good idea. selling the outline...but is that legal? I hope the design isn't patented or something. Anyway, i wish you good luck on your DIY, too! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Can't wait until i get my grill

i'm sure the a1 grill is something someone made too. and i dont see how it would be illegal so i'd say go for it if you have time... when i made the grill i didn't use a cardboard or anything, i just cut it out into a rectangle and cut lil by lil till it fitted... if your scared of scratching the paint, try taping the car with like electric tape, thats what i did the second time
