Any pics of black Mk1 with colour coded grill?

[VeedubyaGTi]

I am thinking of colour coding the grill on my black magic Mk1 VRS but can`t make my mind up. I have seen a few colour coded grills on Mk2`s on here lately, and they look superb, any pics of the same on a Mk1 to help me decide?

It looks LOADS better in my opinion. There's no other silver/chrome on the car so it really sticks out.

I'm gonna get mine done if I can find a good price. How much should it cost? I got quoted

[duke of hazzard]

cost me 30 from a friend who works in a bodyshop. glad you like.

Is it just the grill sorround that has been painted or also the grill itself?

[duke of hazzard]

just popped the silver bit off, bought a new badge too as the old one had to come off to do it right.

[ethos]

Just the chrome grill needs painting.

I was thinking of getting that done, looks great so I may well do it

[duke of hazzard]

I've gone a slightly different way with mine and gone for the Milotec badgeless grill which I'm spraying up a the moment. Have seen photos of other peoples cars with these fitted and love them.

[sneeks]

I'd prefer a badgeless grill but I don't want to spend lots on it. Last I looked they were around

[Mike C]

Fraid so. It's a lot of money but does look good. There's cheaper ones on ebay but I'm not sure about the quality.

Here's mine, Milotec grill.

Apologies for the rubbish pic.

[GarryC]

Here is a picture of mine with the Milotec front bumper grills also. I did not like them all when i got the car (they were already done when i bought it) but now i really like them all after parking next to a STD VRS at the weekend.

Hope it helps.

Regards

Johnny, Is that the 400/04 grill?

[Johnny50]

Yep, it is.

cant really tell in that pic though.

Also has bumper grills...

Pic here before i moved the badge back to the side.

[Mike C]

Thanks for that. Thats the same one I have and I have the badge from the Mk2 Octy VRS to fit.

[Johnny50]

Cool...i've tried mine badgeless, but it didn't look right at all.

Now settled for it where it's supposed to be.

[Mike C]

just our of interest, for the lower grills I see you have to take out the lateral bar... does this leave a small hole in the bumper or is there a plug you but in its place?

[Johnny50]

Being 100% honest i'm not sure Mike. Both of these were fitted to the car when i bought it.

I'll pop out to the carpark later and have a look if you like and take some closer pics.

[Mike C]

Not to worry. I'll ask RSD if I ever get round to doing it ;-) thanks anyway.

I much prefer the standard chrome part resprayed.

The miltoech grill and the ones on ebay make it look a little cheap in my opinion (no offence intended!).
