hi, picking up my juke on the 3rd dec and im thinking about making some mesh panels for the wine rack holes to stop damage, im a sheet metal fabricator / cad engineer with a few cnc machines just waiting to be used. im thinking about matching the hole pattern from the main front grille and then having them powder coated black to match, or even chrome!!!. i can form just about any shape and also include any bracket that are required. they could be flush with the front or be right at the back.
just want a bit of feedback from you guys as i would make a small batch of about 20 sets first to see how they sell, or maybe even give a couple of sets away to get other members views.
will let you all know when the first batch is in production..

excellent idea I would be up for a set when you get sorted
dont mind where they go as long as the stop stones etc hitting rads
both options have benefits the mounting away from bumper still gives the open look

 

[Deej]

yeap!! put me down for a set too.

 

[Fontie]

Depending on how they are priced I'd be up for a set

i think you right deks, having them right at the back won't change the look, maybe it could be 1 larger panel that would cover all three!, and maybe a nice fine mesh in black so you can't really see it.as soon as i can get under my juke and have a good look i will get them going. i have seen a couple of pics where people have glued mesh there but i looks too untidy, i know you can't see it but that would bug me so much, proper brackets and fitting are needed....
how about stainless steel main front grilles, could match the wine rack!!think i could also make the fog light rings in mirror polished stainless too, would be a fraction of nissans price.

think you could have a good few customers from here if you can make suitable things for Jukes.
Where in Kent are you if localish i would be happy to let you look around mine.

 

[gazawebb]

Only in Sittingbourne, just a stone throw from sunny herne bay. if i get to the point where i cannot wait any longer for mine i will let ya know....

 

[jayannlay]

Depending on the look/price I would be interested.

 

[Milos]

Would be interested in a set when available. Anything to protect the radiators. If they get holed would cause all sort of problems.

I'm going to paint my rad black as well as mesh the holes so.the front looks smarter.

 

[feefeeglasgow]

I would definitely have ordered one if you were more local... I dont have a clue how to do anything technical!!

2 questions though -

1 - Would this addition affect the warranty
2 - would it affect airflow?


well actually 3 - How would it be fitted?

Cheers
Fee

 

[Juke-of-earl]

The normal mesh that used to mod cars has s.negligible.effect on airflow warranty won't know And doubt anyone going to.quiere it.
The bumper is going to have to.come off that's not a bad job honest

 

[Kennyf]

Could be interested, finish and price dependant though?

 

[WITHERS]

i have had a good look today at a juke bumper and have started to program a few bits on my cad, will post some 3d pics soon.
does anyone know how the fog light rings fix on?, looks like screws on each side...

 

[simmo]

put me down for some. simmo.

having fitted some other Nissan extras I would say the rings are stuck on with adhesive tape thoug i could be wrong

 

[withoutwax]

Count me in too
