I got bored the other week and ended up spraying my grill in this chromed colour paint.

I'm not sure. I like it sometimes, but then sometimes think its too blingey. The girlfreind likes it but she doesn;t count. Honest opinions Coupers, be brutal.

Before

after

Excuse the little dwarf infront of my car (nephew)

I agree, although it looks better as it is now, I think it may look even better a shade or two darker \:\)

Personally, the resprayed grill in the 2nd picture looks much nicer than the black one. And I think it looks better that it doesn't match the silver on the wheels or paintwork.

Think i'll give a a slightly darker shade of grey a try next. I can always paint it back to silver chrome again.

I am going to do the headlights in the same colour as the body as well, but not until I have sent my cack Joy-Tuning LE kit back i'm dipsuting and sprayed and fitted the AutoDS one's.

Off topic but what was wrong with the Joy Tuning Kit? Front lips not fitting correctly?

Personally I really don't like it, I prefer the contrast you get with the black, it helps create the mouth feature.

Rush,

The side skirts on the rhs was an awful fit would have needed modifying to fit nicely and the lhs skirt was about 3cm too short and doesn;t fit at all!!!

The lips did not follow the contour of the bumper at all and would have left gaps between them and the bumper if fitted.

I'm disputing with them on Paypal at the moment but there expecting me to pay £50 to send them back 1st then they'll refund my postage. They trade as Redskin on Ebay now.
