Hi guys, I've just bought a 09 vrs limited edition.

I really don't like the chrome grill and can't decide what colour to with it.

I've seen that most people tend to paint the grill black.

I've also had ideas of painting it grey.

I'm just not sure if it will suit a grey car.

Has anyone got any pics of the LE with some mods?

I'm also thinging of putting the super skoda rear diffusers and a front splitter on it in the near future.

Thanks.

I painted mine white,same colour as the car

I also have the rear diffuser

Diffusers yes do it and either black or colour match

There was someone on here who had the top part painted body colour and the rest black. Looked good. Unless your car is black I don't think it looks quite right if the grill is all black.

Mine is grey with the grill the same colour. Pics in my project thread

Thanks for your help guys.

I think I will get it colour coded to match the grey car.

And I will go with a gloss black or satin black for the rear diffusers.

Have even toyed with the idea of fitting a FL bumper to improve the looks of the front end of the car, as for some reason I am really fond of the FL bumper with a pre FL headlights

I just did the bottom black.

I've seen this in the flesh and it does look good

Did mine like this

They look great.

My car is the pre FL limited edition version with Audi rotor alloys which I intend to paint in silver.

I stole this pic of someone else's LE off google with the grill wrapped in black.

Just did a really basic bit of photoshop of my car ????

Don't laugh

Looks like you'd need to clean your headlights.

I would PlastiDip it, more easier and cheaper

I never tried plasti dip. Seems to be getting very popular.

Might be worth a shot.

Do you mean paint it in the matching grey?

I have a feeling it could look good.

Yes but painted by a paint shop.

I took mine to my local body shop and had it painted.

It cost around 45 quid and the colour match is perfect and so is the finish.

I think I will get the grill colour coded at some stage.

But for now I decided I couldn't look at the chrome any longer.

So I had a can of satin black and a can of Matt lacquer in the shed.

This seemed to work and it kept the sheen to a minimum with a little extra protection from stone chips.

I just did the bottom black.

 

This looks great, anyone do this to a blue car?

I have seen someone who's done it on a blue on mate and then colour coded the top bit. Blowed if I can remember which thread though sorry.

there ya go mate found it. Lol
