Decided to keep this project where I should've kept it all along ....
..... just with me.
Styling 'by committee' never works.
I'll take my own decisions, I know what I'm doing.

hi
hey ron ive got a black d3 grill complete with a lovely black l/r badge spare
fancy a swap on a pair of tail pipes

dunc life is tooooo short.enjoy the moment.dont worry be happy
I Like your first attempt
"I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you read is not what I meant"
The FFRR grille needs dropping into the bumper a bit.
Cut out the top spar in the bumper to allow the grille to drop an inch or so.
This might mean making a fill-in piece at the top of the grill but may give the look you're after.

I think if you eliminate the top horizontal silver spar and align it higher it will look better.16 D4 Landmark

How about if you paint the silver edge around the grill? Would leave the 2 spars standing out more. I wonder how that would look?16 D4 Landmark

Prefer the grill surround as it makes it unique - as that's what I'm after I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.
