Not the best pic. A few changes done yesterday - still not 100% done. Now you see my comments about painted bump strips. I have the choice of leaving silver or turning black... Think I'll leave it silver. Still needs a little finishing off as it was filled, smoothed, sprayed (including bumper support) in just 5 hours, so needs a little finishing off Monday evening. I like it even more now though.

Like it...

I say go silver all 'round with the strips...

Where's the green gone :( I really liked that, drew attention to it...

Looks good though

stay silver

u painted the green bits on the FMIC?

I say paint the mesh black, it wil then blend in with the grill and give off less of the chicken coup vibe.

Yeah I think you could try the grille black to, I think everyone should start putting their pics on their profile, then you know who your talking to, I think its a good idea...

U JUST LOVE LOOKING AT ME DONT U

Damn it, that was supposed to be a secret, now you can return the favour...

Silver strips and black mesh for me too Jason. Nice bit of work though.

Another vote for paint black it'll look a lot more aggressive

It's looking damn good though

I like the stealth number plate !!

I agree with the black mesh comments, IMO all the mesh & grills should be the same colour to look profesional so its either that or have a silver mesh main grille, but thats just my opinion

i like it would definately paint the mesh black

black mesh and lose them there badges, they don't do it any good mate

Yeah the badges look wonky, one or the other I think - I'd keep the turbo

Black mesh

Looks very neat - i'd paint it black as well

are you putting a square number plate on to the side (ala GTR)?

Black mesh [/quote']

Ditto!!

Thats looking neater now Jason , though I'd lose the badges to be honest.

Its the turbo one thats wonky - I set it in pu-flex stuff, then forgot about it. It slipped a few mm before setting rock hard. :( There will be a motorcycle style plate to the inside of the left foglight, probably under the bump strip, and covering the blanked off panel. Only problem is it might sit proud of the bumper at the bottom, which I'm not too keen on. :(

Will see about making the mesh black - Should look cool.

Can you not mount the plate to one side over the bumper as done on Octys with big FMIC like :-

You might be able to squeeze the numbers a few mm closer together & trim the edges of the plate

Its the curve in the bumper which makes that a pain, Stuart (and its smaller too.) :( I'm going to give the motorcycle style numberplate some trial fits next weekend. For now, the old plate in the windscreen will have to do.

Black mesh gets my vote too - and leave the rest silver, now I can see it 'on the car' it just doesnt make sense to make it black

Silver rubbing strips look cool.

Silver mesh doesn't.

I prefer your bumper bar black now, instead of green... Looks a lot more tasteful.

Remove the wonkey badges too.

Thats it! Mesh is going to be black now - just a Q of how I go about it, cheap hammerite or let bodyshop do it? Right now, my brush hand is quivering. :eek:
