While researching aftermarket options for the RAM Promaster I realized that the Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Relay were very popular vans in Europe and shared most of their components with the Promaster. Upfitters in Europe had developed quite a few interesting upgrade options that could just be snapped right in.

The first item that caught my eye was not really an upgrade but was just a replacement part.  I liked the appearance of the stock grill on the Fiat Ducato. It was much more understated than the stock grill on our Promaster.   I hopped on eBay and one was shortly on the way from the E.U.

When the part arrived I took it to a local body shop and had them paint it to match our van.   The old grill was held in place by just a few screws and four snaps and it took about 30 minutes to install the new one.

The grill had arrived with a Fiat emblem that was seated in a 120mm round spot in the center of the grill.  I decided to remove the Fiat emblem and replace it with a removable 120mm emblem that could be changed at will.  To accomplish this I ordered some 120mm model bases and began to mount some different emblems to them with VHB tape.   I used exterior grade thin mount Velcro on the grill and the rear of the base to hold the emblems in place.

A 120mm stainless peace sign that I had made through Etsy is the normal occupant of the space but for certain occasions the space has held a VW Logo, the Fiat Emblem, the Pleasure-Way logo, a Green Bay Packers helmet and the University of Virginia’s Crossed Sabres.
