Mine looks like NMX516, Some mesh from Supa cheap placed further back against the plastic supports for the same reason as you Chic, but mine doesn't look as trick as yours does. Very nice

You noticed .. on Friday a nice person in a Mercedes Benz (without reversing sensors) reversed into me and then reversed into me some more, result $765 damage, it does not look like much damage but it bent enough to crack the paint.
The Bar will be coming off the car soon for a complete respray and repair, I'm not sure which of the badges I will put back on the car when its done - The Black & Silver Eunos Badge or the Green & Gold Lotus style JDM Badge. :|

Thanks Old Dude - should I put up a "how to make it" guide in the Garage Section ?

I think that would be a great idea!!! you did a great job of it. I like the edging you used.
:( Sorry to hear about your unfortunate accident :( I hope all goes well.

I had (have) a techno grill.

Took it out when I was having over heating issues, although I don't believe it was the only cause.

I have also seen a NB hole its radiator on a club run due to a stone, so I have always liked the idea of the grill...and Techno spent a bit of time researching to find a mesh that would block the air flow too much, while keeping stones out...he had one for every model NA and NB.

Radiators are cheap as chips.

I dont drive the car as much anymore anyway.
