just a quickie on bending the exhaust grill

Post by Igor »

i had a quick look and it doesnt look like it will bend right out the way. looks like the exhaust gets in the way.

just wondered how people are doeing it. do i just need the get violent with it? lol

would i be bending it the right way if i bend it towards the front of the car?

i take it i just bend it myself without any tools (looks quite flimsey)

cheers

I took off my rear bumper and CUT the grill off! :shock:

That got rid of it. :lol:

I suppose if you want to just bend it out the way, it wont be visable, so anyway you can!

There's loads of people on here that have done it, i'm sure someone can help.

Good luck mate.

Most people just bend it up out the way, but I set about it with theold angle grinder! More satisfying!
