That looks so much better than the original style of grille,and gives the car a much better stance. Looks fantastic.
What about the Tuscan 2 front? would this be able to be fitted/adapted to this, as it now integrates the front indicators in it, and although the new front is a big inprovement on the original IMHO, yours still looks the business.

Call me a pedantic fecker, but I find the way the top edge of the rectangular inlet holds a horizontal line rather than follow the central curve of the service bonnet a little disappointing. Whilst I have always considered the 'cheesegrater' to be an interim measure while the factory finished designing the car, this has a far more complete appearance.
I accept that the necessity for the numberplate does embrace the rectangular intake, but, for me, that slight visual clash lets it down.
Having said that, I wish bigphil every success in marketing the unit.

Firstly sorry about the javascript, will deal with this tommorow.
Regarding the comments on the horizontal line above the number plate this is something we tried very hard to eliminate but creating a solid structure overtook the design element unfortunately.
Seeing the fitted unit in the flesh does however look somewhat different in that the section above this line does create more of an intake look which does not show on the pics, hopefully if the northern weather improves tommorow I will try to get some better shots which will show this.
Thanks for all the comments your imput is much appreciated. Bearing in mind the resources to hand and the fact that this was hand sculptered from modeling foam to create the original I am still happy we have acheived a better result than the original.
Stand by for the new Sagaris type spoiler for the rear which should be ready shortly.
Cheers guys

that looks really nice. will be good to see it painted.
Why not follow bigphils instruction and click on the webalbums link (top left), then you'll see the finished product rather than the interim unpainted version.
Well done bigphil ! That's the best alternative to the cheese-grater I have yet seen.
Web page has now been revised especially for Chimhunter.I have added more pics including the first completed customers car. Link remains the same as in the post at the top of the page.

As one of the first customers ( i.e it's my car in the piccies 
), can't rate the service and finish quality enough - and I got the scratches around the roof panel sorted as well. Great job, great people - nice one Phil 
I've now got one mean looking Tuscan S.Yippeeeee
Now all I need to do is change the colour to jet black with jet black windows and jet black lights and as they say in the Hitchhikers guide - light will just slide off
- hhhmmmmmm............

That looks absolutely superb..if we were lucky enough to get a Tusc to add to our Cerb (SGirl's always wanted one), that would have to be done. With a naca duct a la the Le Mans T400Rs.
BTW, should you ever make the Sagaris type spoiler that would fit the Cerbera, let me know. Maybe I watch too much NASCAR...
Thanks for the comments Phil good to know you are happy with our work.Get the credit card out again and jet black is yours for the asking!!!!
Tamlin anything is possible as far as we are concerned, just down to what the customer wants.
Come on Whitey you know you want one
