Yes, it's started. I thought it looked great when I bought it, but I couldn't just leave it like that, could I??

As it was (entirely standard!):

It stayed that way until last month, when i got the LCR splitter fitted [many thanks to MikeSM56]. I think it improves the appearance of the car no end:

I also recently acquired a new grille to replace the chrome one [thanks to VRS 203] which I have sprayed over in satin black and fitted tonight and now she looks like this:

I think it looks much better than the original chrome one, but would like to know what yous think?

And I have more plans, of course ...

Thanks for looking

Kay.

Very smart mate, Satin grille looks the business

Like the new grille. Get some silver indicator bulbs though too - think that would improve the look no end.

Thanks - yes I've been thinking about getting some of those for a while.

Very subtle.

I agree with Steve, get some Philips Silvervision indicator bulbs in a simple but effect mod...

Thanks - yes I've been thinking about getting some of those for a while.

I'm sure MGS can do some bulbs for you

cars looking good Kay, don't think I would be allowed to spray the grille.

Davy

cars looking good Kay, don't think I would be allowed to spray the grille.

Davy

Go on ........ I dare you! :P

i prefer the satin black grill surroud but think the actual grill would suit colour coded to car colour..

Yep looks great.The Black grillle works well with yellow:thumbup:

Go on ........ I dare you! :P

Your on

Kay...

looks fantastic ma dear !

Very jealous.

Sorry Johnny!

I've decided I like it so I'm keeping it! :P

:P

Thats ok...gonna get the stuff this weekend and do mine.

So whats next ?

Nothing for a while now ... sadly it's car insurance month and I also have to go for a week without any pay due to my changing jobs :( so it'll be some time before my next big update (wheels and brakes, most likely )

Although I did a spot of de-badging last night too

Excellent.

Coming along nicely then.

Still, lots of time for stuff like that.

Mudpuppy - One mod at a time springs to mind, Thats how I've been told does not matter how long it takes to do them at least you have the satisfaction of it being your car and known that you have saved up for that mod, I know the same about car insurance and tax my mod money this month is being spent on service and mot and I really should start saving for our wedding next year but it's addictive stuff to not mod a car.

Hey I'm not rushing anything!

If it gets done in the next year I'll be happy.

Besides, I can only just afford to refuel it at the moment anyway :thumbdwn:

Tell me about it. :(

Still...i really think the grill finishes the car off nicely, wheels would probably be as far as i would go externally now it's looking like that.

anyhow car looks great, it's just the subtle things which change the look of the car.

Thanks ... yes I'll be keeping it subtle, not much else to change appearance-wise before I'll be pleased with it.

Looks great

Have you though about painting the fog light surrounds satin black as well?

Looks really nice black!

Think it would be too much colour coded as you sayed!
