Deaks Member 93 Member For: 19y 7m 3d Location: Eastern Burbs of Melbourne Posted 24/05/06 12:34 PM Share Posted 24/05/06 12:34 PM Think ive found the reason most are finding this grill so hard to swallow, you've mounted the mesh too far from the original position, which gives the grill a more pronouced look. You need the depth for the front of the Falcon to work, even in XT form. See if you cant mount it deeper.

Ford_Power Member 798 Member For: 22y 1m 6d Posted 25/05/06 03:31 AM Share Posted 25/05/06 03:31 AM One more point from a functional point of view.... That grill would reduce the airflow into the radiator considerably....Would be interesting to see the temp gauge in summer... then again it is an XT and as such the engine isnt that highly stressed... towing would be another story altogether....Cheers,Ross Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25541-grill-removed-and-debaged/page/3/#findComment-385984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
