When you say smooth do you mean the horizontal grill all the way across with no kidney or a smooth piece with no grill at all ? If it had no grill at all you'd need to put a cold air feed in so it can breathe

There wasa custom cabbie that had horizontal grilles all the way across, wing to wing, including over the headlights. That was very Marmite.

Surely that is going to look absolutely toss?

I was going to do this a few years ago and started hacking up some grills to replace the sections where the headlights are, but I got bored and it was a load of chew, so they went in the bin :)
