what could you do with a standard NC series 1 front bar

I picked up a front bar bar with some damage, a lot less than mine now.
Having looked at different nose cones, am thinking of enlarging the grill area, to remove damage and to make it look different, and doing this before it gets sprayed, when I get the car repaired.
So I am asking for your opinions and your photo shopping abilities, I am thinking of putting in black 45 degree mesh (jaguar style mesh) in place of the plastic honeycomb grill.
Talk to you later, Paul

Add an intake opening above the grill as the intake tubing sits just behind there.
Change the shape of the grill opening to something more aggresive... or more happy if you're that way inclined.
Open the fog light recessess and run some ducting for a CAI, brake cooling or just aesthetics.
Remount the fog lights to the inside and either side of the grill ala the Super 20 (but just not with that God awful NC2 grin... Grrr I just want to kick it!)

Add vertical "braces" in the grill a more aggreesive look similar to this maybe

Mould "eyelids" into the headlight cutout...

I'd love to get hold of a cheap front clip to start playing around.

Thanks moz, I have seen something like this on the road, but wasn't able to find photo.
This gives me some ideas to start with.
Talk to you later, Paul.
