Default FYI, pretty sweet custom grills possible for our cars

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/84266/lltekgrill.1.jpg"></center><p>I've been searching for a replacement grill for my car and there ain't no such thing -- not enough D2s sold to make it worth anyone's while, apparently. But Mark Senior at LLtek told me yesterday they'd build something like this for a few hundred bucks.

If you take off your grill and send it to them, they'll remove the center plastic, paint the chrome body color, fill it in with mesh (or whatever you like), and add rings/quattro tags or not. Seemed reasonable to me, thought I'd pass it on.

Default Send your bumper over and just drive around like this for a while, huh?

Default If you like. Or you could do it the easy way and pop the center grill out.

Two day turn around is what the guy told me on the phone, for what it's worth.

Sorry, I am not a good reader. Off course, just send out the grille.
