Shadow Chrome Grille Idea

Featured Replies

Before anyone gets the wrong idea I'm not planning to turn my car into a Worthersee RS+ clone...

...but I'll confess to liking the dark finish to the grille on the Worthersee cars and that got me thinking about having my grille refinished in shadow chrome to match my wheels as an alternative to colour coding in silver.

Attempting a mock up of this is beyond my very limited Photoshop skills, but if any Photoshop wizards reading this would like to try it, I'd love to see the result.

I'll post a suitable photo of my car here when I've taken one from the front quarter to show the grille and front wheels. Any offers of help much appreciated. :thumbup:

Haha, bizzarely I was thinking a similar thing a couple of hours ago and mocked one up in photoshop. Will post it in a bit. It looks really good.

Would go well if it matched the wheels. I like that colour against the Silver car.

I ordered my front grilles today for my front end change.

No to the lime green alloys then? :giggle:

Bonnet grilles are nice though, wonder if they are functional or just show.

TBH I prefer the pre-FL RS+

Now there's a coincidence. Looking forward to seeing your mock up.

Oh yes! Thats good.

I would even consider doing the Fog Light surrounds the same colour aswell.

The plan would be to get a good match with the wheels. I might give the company that did the wheels a call to discuss this.

What are you planning to do to your grilles?

Colour-Code the chrome and do the other grilles gloss black.

Many thanks. Looks really good. I might just have to do this, but maybe need a better image to start with where the grille is catching the light

I like it with the dark fog light bits.

Don't worry Brimma - I'm not going to compete with you :giggle:

Actually your vRS red and green lower grilles had started to grow on me. I would keep these but go back to the black colour coded upper grille.

I like it aswell. Top Photoshop job.

I'm not so keen on the dark fog light surrounds, but thanks for showing us what it would look like :thumbup:

Absolutely!

I was pleased to find a Worthersee RS+ picture without them for this thread even if it meant posting a Fabia pic in the Octavia forum

Here's mine with smoked chrome outer and gloss black grilles...

I think I want to do something grille wise, but I can't decide what. Ideas in the mix are darkening the chrome outer, audi platinum grey grille slats, gloss black grill slats.

Red grille slats ;)

Er no. Have you had a look at the grilles on Rob's A8? So nice.
