An antidote to colour-coded grilles Pt 2 - the pictures

[craig180]

As you quite properly say - it has to be done right

Shame you never made it either

It did make main cover, and 2 full features (6 and 8 pages) in 2 popular car magazines last year though because it was done right and not with bits done "for the sake"

If you say so :wonder:

So the orange wheels presumably made it go faster, or improved the handling perhaps............and the matching chevrons must have added a few bhp as well

[Paul007]

OK guys - give it your best shot :'(

The black grille is off for possible refurbishment when I can find the time, so.................

I hate to say it, but I could quite happily live with it

At least the car's not going to get nicked is it....plod might see that one coming.

The wheels were necessary to fit the 4 pot brakes behind, so in that respect yes, as well as the full Group N suspension and the chevrons were on a carbon fibre bonnet, so again, yes

I could go on and on, but at the end of the day the saxo didn't look ridiculous.

My apologies - in my ignorance I forgot that you had to have orange wheels to fit 4-pot calipers

What colour would I need if I wanted to fit 6-pots ? :S

My original point still stands, if you are going to introduce colours to a car there has to be some co-ordination.

[Royston]

Brilliant.

My brother is a professional clown but he only wears his red nose for work, come on come clean you have photo -shopped it or you are having a midlife crisis!!

Yay - red calipers

[adder]

you forgot the yellow headlamp covers!

seriously chavtastic! :'(

[RobClubley]

You know what? I like it!

[Cauliflower]

You know what? I like it!

Same here. And wouldn't the last laugh be if it became a mainstream option? Kudos to the fashion leaders of this world and not to the rest of us fashion followers!

I just love the way that everyone thinks their taste is the best taste and denigrates anything different as 'chavvy'.

[ChrisRs]

You know what? I like it!

Is the New Zealand winter blurring your vision Rob?

BRIMMA!!.......GET A GRIP!!!

This coming from someone who thinks anthracite grey is THE vRS colour !

Big cheers to Rob and Cauliflower for their positive comments

And to most of the others :moon: :moon: :moon:

[rob_e]

Variety, spice of live and all that.. Different = good in my book :yes:

Some red 18" zeniths would set that off nicely.

[willskoda]

Doesn't look as bad as what I thought it might!

[martzweb]

mad as a bag of hamsters, but strangely nice

needs more red "accents" elsewhere

[Dallan]

Kinda like it,

what about if just the verticals in the bottom grille were red too?

That could be a possibility

That's the single worst thing I have seen and I once saw a hamster get eaten to a python in my house when I was 6

If that's the worst thing you've seen you have led a sheltered life haven't you
