[Robbs]

expect it'll get mixed opinions but i really like it

[Robbs]

[timsands]

I WANTTTTT.

been thinking about making one for ages

[jbh]

sure ive seen a car on here that was done like this... not my cup of tea as they say but your car do as you wish....

now comes the haterz......

[ross_jsy]

Think its a custom jobbie. couple members on here have kidneyless grills

[tat2me]

have a look at kingcruizer's cab, he's made a complete grill with the lights behind aswell like the old chargers.

[Robbs]

how would you go about making one ???

[ross_jsy]

Without looking at it, I would probably get hold of another side grill or 2, and bond them together. Sand and paint.

[kingcruizer]

here's mine


as for making one, if your creative and good at this sort of thing then its quite easy. i spent about 4hrs from start to finish.
mine's made from alloy, i did look into making one using the original grill's but it's far easier in alloy.

clive.

[aaronsmart]

someone please make me one?

Clive does the lights still give a good beam or they crap behind the grill ?

looking to do something like this for the front of mine



Anyone know of a place that does good work local to the London area?

Then im tempted to get the smoked hella's...but not for a ridiculous price!

To properly pull it off you need to smooth out the lump in the bonnet too, it looks odd with the lines easing to the kidneys and then there's nothing there.

Im pretty sure i read on a german website that they originally used a modified mk1 golf grill to make the single light grill on the E30

[miniblob]

[tomo9992]

There's someone on here with a red coupe with a smooved tech2 kit, and the kidneyless grill with the lights hidden behind the grills!
Looks odd but interesting at the same time.. Not my cup of tea though

[SpencerLavery]

That kidneyless grey one was the picture I saw that made me decide to buy an E30! Still haven't found anywhere selling anything like it or even anything near a tutorial

My bad, it was a red cab!

Here's the guy's website, check it out!

Only problem with using smoked headlights, is you'll only have dipped beam units, if you delete the inner lamps. Most people switch to Golf headlights I think if they go single headlights conversion.

tari............that red cab looks awesome!!!!!!!ive got a spare grille aswell...i know what im doing at the weekend!!!!!

[kam325itouring]

Rams e30 is bad ass, he has done the same to the rear end too and that has a smoothed engine bay and a V8 to suit. i saw it in the flesh at players yesterday looks even better!!! he won a trophy for one of the best non vags of the show.
