Opinions please?.

Post by cavaliersri130 »

Right I've slapped a base coat onto the grill just to see how it looks I done it so I can paint it black if need be.

So what you think
Red/Black?

I like the RED, but seeing as you've gone black on the bumpers & mirror covers it's got to be black

black gives it that seriously cool retro look.

these grills were orginally black and should stay black in my opinion.

but wat ever you like really its your car and its nice to make it your own

I never thought I would say this, as I like colour matched trims, but I prefer the black. Doesn't look quite right in red.

Both look good.

Sri's had matt black

CD's and Diplomat's had body coloured

all other have satin silver.

Tho if I was you i'd go for same as you've done your bumpers. Like its been said, it'll match your wing mirrors.

I like the grill both ways, just not so keen on the bumper myself.

The splitter, as said above, just looks too big for the car to me.

I think it looks bigger than it actually is as It's hanging off caught it on a bolts hanging out a curb near a post just haven't got round to refiting it and also ripped it off more on a raised curb.

Black definately looks the best for the Grille. The facelift grille looks ok in body colour but the pre face grille has got to be black in my opinion!
