Default My latest creation....Homebrew RS6 lower grill insert

Made from expanded steel mesh (large size) found at Home Depot. It wasn't wide enough to fit across in one piece so I had to cut and weld two smaller pieces together. Still a work in progress.

Default Not bad, kinda ricey though, stickers next? :P....

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/110300/img_0046.jpg"></center><p>I've always liked the S-Line style more. I modded my S-6 grill slighly with chrome accents and I put a mesh screen behind it. I think it looks natural enough so that people passing are touching/pick at the grill

Your mod has just given me an idea. I might do a dark granite gray mesh screen by the sections near the fog lights.

Keep us posted !
