grille question
Hello all,
I am new to this site, and so far I am loving all the bonne owners. I was looking to put a new grill on my bonne both in the grille area, and in the bottom "gills" (I call them) next to the fog lights. Right now I just have some gutter guard in both places and it doesn't look bad, but I want something more sturdy and thicker (like a REAL grille). Eventually what I want to do if get a replacement grille so I can use the stock grille in the winter, and the steel/chrome/mesh/whatever one in the summer. Does anyone know of a good site that sells one... I have been searching but no luck. Or even better, does anyone have the talent to make one for a reasonable price? Maybe one that uses the actual grille clips, or at least is easy to assemble?
Thanks

yeah
That'* what I figured from surfing around here for a while... even after doing the gutter guard, it doesn't look amazing on the grill part... mine is a little short on this sides, I will post pictures once I upload them... the best bet is to just try it again... that'* why I am looking for something else.

This was my first attempt without any instruction and this is what I got... The messed up edges aren't too noticable in the day if you don't know they are there... but since I know they are, it drives me crazy. I don't think I did it the smart way either...
and....
the pictures don't look the same in as with your own eyes...

Maybe...
can somebody possibly pull off their grille assembly that they used HD gutter guard mesh and take a picture of how its attached to give me an idea of to do it the next time? like a back shot and front shot in the assembly?
that would be awesome, and greatly appreciated!
