| Pissed my car off! (Custom grill I made) - Click HERE for Original Thread |
| fugumerkur |
Spent some time fibreglassing and cutting my spare merkur grill! Truly custom work cause I decided to angle the opening for the intercooler down to get air to feed to the center of the intercooler (not installed yet) , now the car is pissed off and will definitely turn a few more heads!
Love the fact that the grill only cost me 50 $ in material and a few hours of labour, of course I will paint it with the car when I finally have time to get to that !!

I just made a deal with another merkur owner! I get the Euro lights tommorow if he brings them to work! Its even more of an improvement!

| Looks good, and its functional:thumbup: I'd figure out how to open up that front end alittle more if I was you.:) |

| Thats some good fabrication there! |

| sexy, you should just cut that whole middle part of the front bumper like they do in europe. And then just have the intercooler right up against the back of the bumper. tight:thumbup: |

| nice, you even went as far as to change your sig pic too! Good call on the euro lights, glass > yellow plastic :thumbup: |

| yup! good thing I test fitted it too! I only fibreglassed the bottom of the mounts I repaired! and used filler on the top just to see if it was okay! no doubts about the fibreglass though it held up, but the car has enough flex that it has cracked on the top! its fine, I will just glass the tops of em and its all good! |

| They should remake the merkur under the mazda name, 2 door hot hatch, with that new direct injected turbo motor and make it rear wheel drive and so on, using miata parts! |

x2 :thumbup: |

| ah you agree! , I saw nice straight line styling, no excessive curves, (cavaliers and santa fe styling.) make it refined but affordable.! keep the heated seats and mirrors, maybe add a heated steering wheel two, Miata diff or have something made up that will be good for handling, and have a nice 4 cyl turbo with 250 horse! seating for 5 and awesome exterior cues that are a throw back to my car! I would buy 1 |

| Wolfdio |
| yes but it has to be just as awkwardly in your face as the previous merks were. |
|
|
| fugumerkur |
yeah, but they have to change the fact that people would want to buy them! I do not know how hyundai can sell a car! Kia's cars are rip offs of everyone elses cars!
its sad todays cars are all the other manufactures cars designs!
the late 90's preludes are awesome.! Celicas and supras are sweet! the mustangs have had their ups and downs, but todays cars, sunfires, cavaliers, neons whats going on. stupid people |
