Black grille looks great ... welcome to the gang

Looks nice but what will you do about the badge holder? Remove the lower half and fill it?

Im going to stick it back on when i can,im proud to be driving a Skoda so the badges will remain

I could get an Autobot badge made up.........only joking!!

Just bascically Halfords Skoda Black magic,plastic primer and Halfords lacquer

There we go

badge back on

Looks excellent mate. I quite like the green on the skoda badge to go with the green on the vRS badge, but then black would look less fussy, and possibly better still!

looks amazing i want to do mine but my cars green so would look ****..!

do you have to sand the silver off first?

I did think about it Chris but TBH i couldnt be bothered

Maybe someone else who gives it a go may change my mind tho;)

I did,it gives the paint a good surface to stick to,plus it will get rid of any imperfections and dead flys guts and give you the smoothest surface possible

And it would look smart on your dark green Fabia Craig trust me...in black or dark green

You need a few coats of lacquer to make it shine like the rest of the car.
