That should repair, will you be doing it or are you getting a bodyshop to do the work?
If your getting a bodyshop to do it there should be no problem repairing it

Bodyshop fa show, but I was just thinkin while I've got them beatin and hackin around, maybe I could do something a little different. In a year or two: the handles, chrome, and hinges will get shaved, so all together, I think it would look nice and clean with the smooth front apron. But maybe just a stock repair would suit it better.

I think the biggest reason to keep the front vent might be the same reason alot of people don't like the 03, without the front bumper it does look very bulbous and the vent tends to take this away from the eye, a bit of an optical illusion maybe.

I'm not to sure if that makes sense now it did when I started to write it honest

Ever thought of this?

This is what I'm doing to MY car.
The car's black atm, but it's getting painted dark charcoal metallic grey.
I posted theses a while back. Take a lookand tell me what you think.
I'm getting the grille off another wreck and grinding the edges smooth.
Haven't decided on powdercoating or chrome yet...Probably PC.

I stuck wit the lower left as the final on the second link.
I scrapped the other 3 ideas...too weird even for me.
Anyway...I like the look and it's pretty easy to do.
Might look odd on a light colored car, but ya never know! =)

The bottom left's pretty pimp Uber Affe, never seen that done before. Gotta Frankenstein/ robotic look to it... Muuuah-ha.ha.ha.ha. IT"S ALIVE!

I think I'm gonna go with the smooth apron. Justdubbin' I feel what you're saying for sure... I do catch some **** with the ugly duckling front end... but I'm thinkin when its completly shaved it'll be just clean AND...if it turns out to look like a horses *** sewed up with a grapevine...I may just stick the ole' Euro tag on it.
