Two D3/4 Grill Conversions - one has to go ... NOW SORTED.

Only got one D3 so don't need two grills!
So, one will have to go .... but which one Question


First one is my own conversion using a MY2010 FFRR grill.

Second one is the DC4X4 conversion using a D4 grill.

But I've got a side vent for it to match.

So ... which one stays and which one goes Confused I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

IMO 2nd grill (D4 mod) looks better. D4 grill is angular like the D3. 16 D4 Landmark

Whichever you got for, do let us know when your second is up for grabs Wink Thumbs Up

My vote goes for the FFRR, but given you have the D4 vent, I'd keep the D4 conversion... ==> Guide - Inexpensive AV Modification

D4 side vent

HI just wondering is the d4 side vent a straight swap for D3 side vent or is there a bit of work on it to make it fit,by the way love what you have done to your D3,both the grills look great.

Is this a serious question Ron? Laughing

FFRR SS grille is the one to keep. And i'll be glad to take the "not matching" sidevent of your hands. Whistle CLUB ILLEGAL CAR WASHERS

I like the FFRR one. I think the vertical crome bits of the D4 one spoil it. For details on the next Kielder Safari click visit the Kielder Safari website
