Right, but the question is where to get one w/o the logo. I know I can use a different material for the grill, but I like the stock look.

I have mine without the ford emblem and just the black oval that is behind it. I think it looks fine, not quite as clean as I like it to look, but as long as it isn't painted (the grille I mean, I think the chrome oval needs painted in order to look good), it looks good.

PM stazi the aussie, he makes a metal mesh grill that you can buy from him. or you can go to the local hardware store, buy your own mesh and do your own grill.

Or you can make your own for 5 bucks from Home Depot. I did:  The 'Contour' badge is stuck on with 3M double sided tape.

Oh yeah! I forgot that!  I took off the 'Contour' logo and put on a '24v High Output' badge in its place. "High" is a relative term, so technicaly it is a 'high' output motor. 
My car now also looks a little bit different from that pic, mainly in the wheel area...

anyone wanna try to make a new grill? since the grill is an oval shape, why not put a big, FORD right in the middle of the grill? thoughts?

Do you mean just blow up a Ford logo to fill in the entire grill? I dunno, that might defeat the purpose of having an opening there. I've seen some pics of Mondeos that had a hood that came all the way down in between the healights to the top of the bumper.
