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

Shame the python thought you weren't as tasty as the hamster, but then pythons are known to be choosy :p

It glows in the dark too, thereby being an additional safety feature

Fog Light Rings :wonder:

No it looks like it would be on the same shelf as the LED washer jets in Halfords.

I think we can take your taste with a pinch of salt, being an SLK driver

nope, sorry don't like it

maybe it needs "teeth"?

Hideous.

Looks like a rover 200 BRM :p

hahahahahahaha.

'Would sir like some neon dash inserts and a wonky "turbo" badge for every pannel on his car?'

Huddle in your conformist cliques you snipers, and while you're at it why don't you go back to black plastic bumpers and wing mirrors? :p

Co-ordination or choice over grille colour seems like a given, now that I've seen it. Hope some manufacturer is listening.

Har-di-har.

But seriously, one man's meat is another's poison. Brimma's proposition is a red grille on a black car. Fantistic. I don't see a major leap but see a good more taste between that and what look like cheap LED Christmas lights on an Audi headlights, or ridiculous 18" 'cart' wheels on a BMW. Or is it because I is Skoda? (Ali G, you numpties!)

Harsh........ :'(

TBH, I have nothing but admoration for the Brimma's rebelious, unique and non comformist approach to car modding!

All jesting aside, I do actually think it could work, perhaps not something I would do, as I hate the chrome surround, maybe Brimma could swap that when the black surround is back from the paint shop? Now that I would like to see

You know what, it's work in progress.

But we'll all be wearing them tomorrow.

Rudolph has feelings too you know!!

whens the bonnet bra coming anyway bri?

Only if you need one... do you?

Seeing as you've all been so nice, I'll treat you to some more pics - hope you've got the sick bucket ready

And thanks to Cauliflower for being so positive

I'm getting quite attached to it now, so it'll be staying for a while

I understand that jealousy can be a terrible thing :p

How about the lower grill in red too ?, might balance it up ?, but I would loose the chrome !

Brimma ain't alone. Here's a link that takes you to a step-by-step guide to changing the grille colour on pre-FL cars. I suspect it's probably by a Briskodian, if so, make yourself known !!!

OK, the slant is on colour co-ordination, but obviously any colour choice is viable.

Anyway, I think it looks a million dollars, so-ooooo much better than the default / poundstretcher black grille.

Couldn't get this to link properly so some users may have to cut and paste the URL into your browser...

Another alloys colour change thread perhaps Brimma?

No - I think the chrome outer and red inner compliments the silver alloys and the red calipers

There may be another surprise in store soon if the plan comes together
