pre 97 front grill

Post by danthemann »

right- i know theres loads of posts about this somewhere-but this weekend im gonna attempt to cut out my grill from my pre 97 front bumper..

just wondering from anyone that has done this before-can it be done without taking off the bumper? and what other things should i be careful about?

also will it be alrite having no grill at all? coz i am gonna mesh it but cant afford it yet.
