I see where your talkin bout tho... mite be a gud idea..... Check for obstructions behind and make up metal brackets or something and my favourite alot of plastic glue but keep it neat and outa sight. Try get that piece from a scrapyard so ya can make bits of it and not care....den get familiar with fibregall/ filler and paint to finish things off tidy....I chose the playstation cos it serves both purposes dvds and games and lloks cool and has nicd dimensions ( ie - its very thin). thats prob no help at all really sorry lad

id look and think "WOAH! this guy loves his car"

i think personalisation of cars is great, i dont like people pretending their cars are something theyre not though, like debagding a car...fine, badging it as something else...pointless, in my opinion.

oh yeah, i think debadging is fantastic, im doing mine sometime soon :D. it was the badging it at something else i was making the point about.
with mine though, as its a 6n2, if you want to debadge the front and change the grille u have a cut out int he bonnet, so im gonna have to wait till ive got money to get a new plate welded into the bonnet and it repainted
