• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Front grill ideas - what do you think ?

I made them out of car speaker covers with some left over mesh hot glued to the back of them , then fixed them on using stainless steel screws .
 
Before I read your description I thought they look like speaker grills on a rolling boom box. If you like them, it's all that matters.

I think I do , they went through a few alterations to get to what they look like now , they don't actually look that obvious in real life , I took the photo lying on the ground looking up , I just thought the large expanse of plastic needed something to break it up a bit , I might still end up going for the chrome grill on sale from your side of the pond or put some lights behind them .
 
I have a question (Maybe several...)
Are the grilles functional?
If so; have you been able to determine how it has changed the airflow underneath the bodywork?
If they are NOT functional; do you foresee any possibility of attempting to make them so?

I admire your creativity! :thumbup:
 
They are for decoration at the moment Bob but I might turn them into air ducts or illuminate them maybe at a later date , winter project ?
I thought about the bug splat issue , I have a stiff nylon type , non scratch brush that sorts the little bleeders out :2thumbs:
 
Thanks Mike! :thumbup:
I know with all of the heat problems that have been reported; this would seem like a potentially viable method to increase the airflow...
