New spin on spindle grille for 2IS
So i recently decided that not only do i love my car, but it is in my best interest financially to keep it for another 3 years so I want to give it a new look. I love the new 3IS spindle grille but i honestly wouldn't want to spend 2k+ as others have to get it to that point. Luckily for me i am an industrial design student and can get creative with a cheaper solution so behold my concept that i hope i can bring to life asap..... (*its a quick lazy photoshop just to get an idea) I would really do more research on other spindle grilles and mess with the proportions to get this design to be perfect and try different variations to see how i can get some gestalt in there. I would probably have to make a custom mesh grille which i dont think should be to hard to form be it metal or plastic. I also want to put some audi style led tubes like these on ebay because and i dont have 2k for 2011s.. I would inclose the light tube in some sort of intergrated design with plastic to contain the light and make it look good.
By getting the cheap $400 conversion rep on ebay i can do this front bumper conversion for less than $1000. and thats being generous.

Id have to do research so i make sure i dont get some POS dull led. Those mods to go with a wald rep trunk spoiler molded perhaps and id like to ad a subtle bump to the hood like on the new M4. Let me know what you guys think but if you intend to call me cheap please save it. As i stated i am an industrial design student and i think with help i can really make this look good and not just a tacky after thought.
Again this is a really rough 10min photoshop job to put the idea out.
ANd shout out to whoevers matte orange IS picture i jacked. I want to do matte white so the pic was a good starting point.
