The grill looks awesome.
Any chance of a grill pic including the whole car?
How are you finding the vehicle overall?

Does that custom wrap look cheap in real life? as I've always wanted to paint it black but not sure what to use. Also did you remove the grill to paint it?

edit* Also another thing I've wanted to ask someone guess you would know, does the whole front bumper get cut off when bullbar goes on? if so what do you do with that bumper afterwards?

cheers

No it looks really good,time will tell how it wears I washed some bugs and crud off it today and it didn't peel off,yes removed the grill,easy job and the silver uprights are actually anothe piece screwed on the inside so I took that off as well .
As far as the bumper goes a fair bit of it cut away but not all so the cut piece is pretty useless and just thrown away

ahh I see was curious as I wanted to source some fogs for my glxr which is fog less for some reason guess I'll find someone with a recent bullbar install.

Think I might give that paint stuff a go as well, black out stuff looks sexy imo.

cheers

Hey mate was it hard to get the grill out? Did you have to pull the whole bumper off or did you paint it on the car?

Na piece of piss to get off mate,pop the bonnet take off the plastic shroud that fills the gap between the radiator and the grill,look down there are a couple of screws to undo and it pulls out,it has locators that seat it to the bottom,just wiggle it out,the grill itself is 2 piece I pulled that apart and just painted the chrome piece

Nice ute mate, is that snorkel factory fitted?

I bought my MQ glx a couple of months ago and was supposed to take delivery with factory snorkel and have now been told MAYBE December.

I would love to go in and rev up the dealer if the snorkel is actually available.

Looks very 8-) Dunga, way better with the tray IMO.
