That's what we are aiming for, trying to keep the factory look but tweak it a bit - sort of a factory styling exercise if they were considering building a 2 door.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Just expanded mesh Mick , that's actually the original stuff that was on the donor section with a quick squirt of silverfrost on it - can buy various sizes at Bunnings or a metal supplier, there's actually a mob over here called Meshworld.
