While waiting for my CF look grille to arrive thought i would have a go at painting my old grille. Rubbed down chrome, 3 coats of primer and 2 coats of black metallic plasti-cote. Here are a couple of pics of new look.

 

nice! i wish my grille still looked like that! time for a new spray

 

lookin good!

 

Thanks.

 

Thanks.

 

The new grille looks really good. Car looks pretty cool in the rain.

 

Thanks.

 

When you get the CF Grille, you should sell that one since that looks good.

 

Thanks, but i will probably keep it and put it back on when i go to sell.

 

Looks good on your car.

I feel like the front end on my car looks too girly. I was thinking about getting on of the silver CL grilles off ebay (my car is brilliant silver). But I'm having second thoughts since a lot of people don't like the way they look. Not to hijack your thread, but do you guys have any interesting ideas?

 

As my car is Diamond Black, and i have black projector headlights and black projector fogs, i think it suits a black grille as it gives a more aggresive look to the car. However, at the end of the day its down to personal choice. I had the big star chrome grille on mine, but it just didn't look right on a lighter colour car probably suit much better.

 

nice!

 

hmm, now htat i think bout it, our cars look pretty similar. haha

 

is it a good idea to buy a grille off ebay?
