Everybody and their brother has been cutting me off lately and then yesterday some dip pulled out right in front of me, thinking he could beat both the truck turning left on the road next to him and me coming towards him.. and he nearly got T-boned. So then this happened.. someone hit the front of my damn car. I'm ____ed. It's not like I was in an accident that could've been worse.. but at least insurance would've covered that or something. This @$$ didn't even leave a number. And after speculation I finally realized where it happened.. bah. And I could've gotten his license plate and pictures and everything. But it's too late now.

Enjoy. (Anybody have any new license plate frame ideas? I'm going to get one custom done to put on the back of my car so I can put the dealership frame from the back to up front.)




Like my new grill mod?


Just an up front view.


Grill mod up close and personal!


I pulled the grill forward as much as possible but it didn't do much. And I flattened the plate out as much as I could.. with pliers. As much as I wanted to use a hammer to get my anger out, I don't think it would've helped. Of course, if anybody has a new bumper to donate that doesn't have a spot for a license plate, I'll gladly take it so I don't have to have the plate on there at all. ;) It's really lose without the frame.. so that's why I need ideas to go get one custom made today.. put the new one on the back and the one from the back on front.

Le sigh.

 

Aw, that's awful. I'm sorry that happened to your xA.

 

Oh yeah.. and I trust you all so much to not have to blur out my license plate.. don't abuse it!! ;)

 

sucks you didn't catch them,but....

that doesn't look too bad, time for some aftermarket grills!

 

that sux... at least it appears to be easy/inexpensive repairs....

now that i just jinxed that.. i'll go crawl under my rock

 

That's what I was thinking. :D Any suggestions?

Here's an ebay auction from the company that he got his inserts from:

I think you could just get away w/ some generic mesh for the bottom, paint it black and noone would even know, I might have some in my garage @ home, I will check and you can have if you want...

 

Sure, feel free to check. That'd be awesome.

 

Erik is the bombdiggity!

 

Not many grills for the xA. Sad.

 

sorry to hear about your car, you should be able to use just about any mesh grille insert, cut to fit, paint it black to match the car or leave silver, good luck

 

I have a piece that I had cut for the tC until i realized it wouldn't work what are the dimetions of the grille? Maybe the one I already cut is close? Otherwise I will dive back in and see what i can find...

 

ok this is not kewl

A. good luck on the hunt grill!

 

I have no idea what the dimensions are.

 

Thanks D
