Matte black would be more subtle against the mesh. But blue would also look good coz the car is blue. I'd keep the front and rear badges looking the same, so would you put black on the back?

I'm not sure which part your talking about..

Didnt think you would. Haha. You have the chrome surround that steps up/back on to the start of the black plastic that now on the inside of the grill. Then the black plastic actually has a 2nd little step in it before it goes to the back of the grill. So look at the grill front on and look into it to hopefully understand what trying to say. Hehehe

Are you talking about this bit?

I've decided to keep the badge as is, but I'll see when I fit the grill if I actually have a badge or not

I couldn't help myself. No more pics until the car is clean.

I'm not sure on a badge yet. But the one I was going to use needs repainting now after I damaged it trying to work out how to fit it. I couldnt work it out

What do you guys think about badgeless, i think it works but a badge would aswell.

Next step install my brakes and suspenion upgrades and be done with that front fender gap

Very Corazon, very nice! :good:

IMO I'd like it better with a more dense mesh though.

Thanks mate. I think once I get a badge sorted it will look a lot better

Here it is with the badge. Much better I think.

It goes in on monday for all my parts to be installed.
I'm thinking a 30-40mm drop for the front and about 15mm for the rear.

That looks awesome! :good:

Pretty much exactly what I'll be doing for my new front.

Me Likey Hoffster!

Eyelids would give it that extra bit of aggressive look :twisted:

Thanks Mark. It only turned out this way because of your guidance.

Very nice, I too like it.
