You can do it without mesh and paint the front panel black. I did and it looks okay IMO

IMO craigs looks the best... not too over the top.
yes "razorjack" number plate on dash in window, havnt you seen it before......
What is the obsession with cutting up perfectly good bumpers & then using mesh wherever possible?
Mesh = Mess.
Mesh doesnt mean fast. Where on an F1 car or WRC car is there any mesh?
I HATE MESH
Mesh is ok on rad grills.... to prevent little birdies making a hole in your rad.
so you people think fearless's peppermint nova looks bad?
Personally... I've never really liked it but I appreciate money spent etc.
Yes I've seen it before, but usually only by traders who stick trade plates in temporarily; people who's numberplates just fell off and they're driving to halfords to buy some sticky pads or bolts to put it back on; chavs who have a personalised/show plate in the original location in hope in vain the law won't bum rape them for it; or big fat homo sausage-loving truckers who have names like "BIG BOY" on show plates in their windows.Quote:

Ive always disliked that bumper on that car. Looks like it could break at any minute. Fail to see why it needs that much cooling seeing as it has an alloy rad & no other TBd XEs in Novas struggle with cooling as far as I'm aware.Quote:

So whats wrong with the properly engineered GM slats that must be correct for the cooling/rad requirements?Quote:

Should I mesh my filler hole?
Filler cap or hole in (P48) Filler?

Oh i forgot though, it looks 'cool' doesn't it :roll:
Watch as I cut pointless holes everywhere and fill them with w4nker mesh! lol
lol bothQuote:

All the WRC's in the link I posted have mesh of some sort in the bumper vents! :tard:Quote:

Ahh yes, agree with you there. IMO there's no point chopping a vent out the bumper that provides a nicce cool air flow to the front valance, then filling it with rusty chicken wire lol
How about having one vent for a cold air feed and one for a little camera?
