Very true. Although it may not look it, it's bloody solid!

Bonus pic. No longer a Nissan. It's a Nestlé Micra :/

LOL would have been tempted to leave it as a nestle, just for giggles

Excellent worksmanship! I've wanted a grille like this:

For ages!

Also, I'm loving your yellow driving lights + laguna splitter combo

I do love the old open mouth grill especially with the phase one squarey grill, just wanted to try something a little different.

Ah! Right back at you

That's amazing! Will definitely be trying this in the future! Is the brown layer just smoothed filler?

Thanks! Worth a shot Id say.

I used filler to fill the holes then put filler primer on it to make it nice and smooth before painting. The pics where part of it is still green, the white bits is body filler and the pics with the yellow/brown/orange is filler primer.
