    New grill, opinions please.

    Just had a brain wave the other day and decided that i quite liked the RS2 grill but the rate i get through badgers these days i am not prepared to nail 100 quids worth of plastic to the front of the raudi so...............

    Bought a standard grill off the bay of fleas for £4.20

    Then gave it a good scotchbrite and a puff of primer

    Three good coats of satin black

    And here you go. Before

    After

    What do you lot think, bit shibby or not too shabby? Can't decide but it didn't cost much so........

    Did the same with mine before the RS2 grill looked great in my opinion.

          I like, but I think I would have kept the four rings silver and just blacked out the surround?

          Just my two penn'orth!

                I like it, but when I photoshopped my own car with it, I just could not bring myself to do it!

                Cheers,

                      I would have kept the rings chrome too, then it would look like the OEM black rimmed version like I have

                      Anyhoo, Groof mate, you still after an offside bumper grille? I have "two" spare now (long story)
                      Let me know.

                          Not sure if I'm at inters yet, tho I would like to be.
                          It's still black mate yes, as it's a brand spanker
