Colour coded grill with new style VRS badge with Bottom grill sprayed gloss black and lower side grill sections colour coded:

Ambient lighting fitted and working with low beams:

Have also put led bulbs in sidelights, interior lights and number plate light but no pictures as its not dark enough.

can you put up a pic of the ambient light shinning down on the dash quiet interested on how it would look. love how the lower grill looks gloss black.

Very nice - I like that.

I would suggest that you blank out your number plate - I'm not saying you have to but it's advised

I've said it before so sorry to be boring but I'm not a fan of colour coded grill surrounds on anything other that black or anthracite cars; it just doesn't work for me.

I'm also not a fan of the colour coded outer lower grills. Each to their own though and as long as donovan likes it that's all that matters. Some people don't like my black wrapped grill surround and it took me a bit of getting used to and now I think it looks great.

If you have camerashyplates you don't need to bother with blanking

All you have to bother about is getting pulled by plod because they're illegal.

Dont agree. Looks good to me

No offence taken, but then again I wouldn't want my car to look like yours.

Never been a fan of the bling on the front of the skodas. Looks smart to me :-)

Front gloss black insert needs a small splitter to sit with it.

....and they've been proven to be about as useful as a chocolate teapo t

Shame to post only negative comments, and take the focus away from the OP's efforts :(

Looks okay - have you a straight on front shot?

I for one love it

So do we only post positive comments then? I said I wasn't a fan of it, that it didn't work for me, and each to their own. I said that as long as the OP liked it that's all that mattered. So not exactly negative.

Is that a wrap or sprayed? Looks gloss as opposed to matt (like mine). Works well with the mirrors.

In answer to your question, no, but it's now turned into a discussion on the whys and wherefores of black grilles, instead of commenting on the OP's mods

No offence taken, but then again I wouldn't want my car to look like yours.

Nah your right i dont want yours to look like mine either.

I would also be interested in the reply before the edit.

Exactly

"i can comment on yours but you dare comment on mine and its trouble"

Where might you find such plates ?? a friend of a friend of a friends brother in law might be looking for some.

If you have camerashyplates you don't need to bother with blanking

The clue is in the name.

That's right, you stick with the hurd mate.

Happy for anyone to comment on my car but there's a right way and a wrong way to articulate your views. Sadly yours was the wrong way:

Why does the discussion have to be constrained to the OP's mods? One of the mods was to the grill surround so what's wrong with discussing alternative options?

I think the camerashyplates is less relevant don't you?

what is the difference between the ambient lighting and the W8 mod??

Also, is there a how to on the grills cuz they look the nuts! (op ones I mean)

Dont agree. Looks good to me

+1 - just needs black alloys to go with the mirrors and grill.

Looks good to me. :-)

Getting back on topic and back to the OP. Congrats for doing a smart job. I think you have done a good job of trying to make it a bit individual. Is the ambient lighting red? Have you changed the dash to the same colour?
