I like it, nice chop. I reckon it would look pretty mean with some eyelids too.

Nice shop skills! The lip looks spot on.
Oh, & I love the look of the new parts on the car too.

Wow, nice chop skills! But yeah, go for it! Looks great with the black accents. You should even consider charcoal coloured quad tips and taillight tint.

tbh im not a huge fan of black wheels on that colour.. but hey its each to their own.
IMO ive seen some cars a similar colour with shadow chrome wheels and they look hawwttt (im an anti chromie person normally) but the shadow chrome really takes the edge off.

Looks good. Will stand out and be eye catchin.
Black on silver is a great combo!
Not a fan of silver shadow chrome. Blends in to much.

thanks for the comments guys, but when i comes to my cars I like to do some things a little different to
other ppl, and i love the look of black on grey but everyone is open to their own opinions and i welcome all

Case in point - I don't like the black-wheeled look
I'm pretty conservative when it comes to visual mods, and judging by comments I've read on here since I joined I'm in the minority on this, haha... but IMHO black wheels really detract from the vast majority of cars. To me they look kinda tacky, and lend the car a bit of a 'flogbox' look. Those same wheels in a subtle alloy finish (like the stock STi rims) would look much better.

Love the look mate, and you've done well with finding the grille/lip on the right angle for the chop!!

Looks good. I still prefer grille surrounds color coded. Black just looks unfinished.
Are you going with 20" wheels? Also your car washing skills need some attention. Too many spots missed.

Hey Percy
Nice car you got there, ive got the exact same one and color also. Ive done the changes you have photoshopped, i think they are a nice touch. I did go with Spec B rims over aftermarket darker coloured ones, but thats not to say i wouldnt use dark coloured rims either. Looks the business if you do change those bits and pieces. best of luck to you and your car mate.
