Title: Front End Question?
Post by: Jock on September 30, 2008, 05:48:45 PM: Can anyone shed some light on what car/vehicle this front grille and bumper came off?

Not the best job at fitting it but it looks ok... Could be a good grille for replacing
the original chopped and hacked grill that is currently on my LWB.
