I more than likely won't have the over riders on it, and the grill won't be stock.

It's kinda like an fe fc bumper with a bit more shape. Just might look weird with the same bumper front and back.

Put a bullbar on it like Robin , then you can do 30000000000000000 miles in it
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

See if Jamie has any to try. Otherwise when I get back I'll see if Fluffy knows of any.

What's your plan for the grill?

only thing with an FC bumper is then it won't match the rear bumper

You're right Mick. Thinking about it shape wise is a big difference.

probably my worst part is i like the front of FB/EK as is 8) i don't mind minor tweaks such as scotty's car and custom but still parrallel bars grill, i like the standard bumper without overriders and really like them one pieced or failing that rolled pan but then once again i think if a car has rolled pan front it should have it rear aswell which because of the tail lights can't really be done

just my feelings/rantings feel free to do as you please which i'm quite sure you will :wink: :thumbsup:

Liking all the input, I will be doing what I plan, then stand back and make a final call on it. Most likely be asking for opinions also.

I'm with Mick I like the fb ek front bumper grill standard not a fan of custom grills the only one I like is the curtain rod
Grill bars and will probably do that on my wagon
I'm sure you will come up with a combo to your liking Trev it's going to be a cool wagon no matter what :thumbsup:

Personally I think its hard to beat the stock front face also.

Be careful not to venture into the custom gone wrong category !

Nice work though this car will have awesome road presence, well done.
