the standard cooper one is a honeycomb pattern & made from a dull finish steel. this one is a more open criss-cross pattern & made from electro-polished stainless steel.

looks good Hat, but maybe the old grill with the Guinea pig attached would have been more of a head turner?

Looks good, I still think "Circular holes" are better as the rest of the front is circles, and it matchs better.

Still looks good!

I like the extra shinyness but I don't like the couple of solid squares of metal (mostly upper left area) maybe that will be fixed with the 'production' model though

yeah i think thats the main issue minty - its ok but its not different enough to make you want to spend money on one. Mine was free which is fine but i have no idea how much they would retail for. the other main problem is that its not an easy to fit item - the front bumper has to come off. This is a very straight forward thing to do but it will put a lot of people off
