Quite like the bottom part but not so keen on the main grille!

Any chance of a pic from a bit further away so we can get more of a perspective look?

sorry not for me but each to his own - as long as you like it :)

Not a fan of the grill either but bottom part of the bumper looks good

Deary me, looks sh!t in my opinion.

I guess if you like it then what else matters

:eek:

Errr, lost for words myself but as already said, car modifying is about personal taste - if you like it then great.

Main grille has the look of a 'cleft lip' imo!

Like the bumper grille, but then I would say that as I've just fitted one to mine!!

bull nose lol

Shocking. :thumbdwn:

Lower grilles are bearable though, not the main one

IMO.

Wouldn't look to bad without the triangle. Just played with paint. It looks more Milotec now.

Top marks for being different though.

Mmmmmmmm...................not really my thing...doesn't loook that trick to me, why not just get the original grill painted/dechromed to match bnody colour like mine! Lower grill is OK though.

:eek: Nooo sorry just don,t look right cheapens the cars look.

I'm not keen, sorry!

The top grill makes it look like a Vectra/Vauxhally

how do you get the bonnet open if the upper grill doesn't allow the bonnet release handle to protrude out?

He didn't remember that... untill washer bottle got empty... lol.

Now seriously, lower grill looks great, but main grill looks like it's been taken from some other car and forced to Octy. I just don't like it.

Agree with Chris G, it looks like those Astra/Vectras with a sporty grill - at first you think there is no grill then you realise it has been really deep set. Looks a bit like a bad crash repair.

But at the end of the day if you like it, go for it. What I don't like someone else will - it makes the world go around. God help us if we all liked the same stuff!

Cheers for the feed back guys.:)

No luckly the guy were i got it from told me when i bought it, otherwise maybe!

Bloody hell the wife never has any water in the bottle!. Just like the petrol!:rolleyes:

I just shortened orginal one, so its just the same apart from you pull and lift from the gap between bonnet and bumper, will need a new one if orginal grill is ever put back on thou. The grill itself is designed from a vw bora, although i do agree with the comment about the bull nose , i never noticed that before! But its still looks great to me and thats what its all about for me guys:D

Not a fan myself but beauty is in the eye of the beholder so :thumbup: mate.

Looks like quite a lot of effort has gone into that; I'm sure it looks better 'in the flesh'; well done. :thumbup:

One comment though; it looks as if the lower edge of the milotec mesh grille in the lower section of the bumper is not located properly. Does it have to be like that or have you refitted it since taking the photo?

PS> Good choice of tyres by the way. :D

i quite like it, swmbo dont.

The top grill makes it look like a Vectra/Vauxhally

Worse than that, a Mitsubishi Carisma! :eek:

I do like the bottom grills though.

The Octavia's are ugly as f*ck anyway, nothing we can do will make it look 'good' IMHO

"You can't polish a turd"

lol

I think it looks like another car, mitsubushi and the vauxhall lol not my cup o tea but I like the bottom.
