You putting any kind of mesh in the streamline ones?

Not a particular fan of that mesh, but funnily enough I was talking about that today. Needs an option.

The standard one looks better. Just my opinion though.

 

[henderson]

yeah i'm starting to think the standard grille looks better lads,the only thing that through me i think is that i asked the wife and she said the above grille is rank! as she knows sh!t about cars i tend to do the opposite normally,looks like for once she might be right

thanks to which ever mod sorted the pic btw

I'm not a fan of the streamline one. Just makes the car look a bit wonky/boz eyed.

Do you mean because there is one Streamline and one normal?

 

[Robo_#1]

Yeah, but even if you had both of them done it would still look like its got huge nostrils.

Think the standard grille looks better fella.

yeah it will have a bit of fern cotton about it

 

[Robo_#1]

Lol, I was going to make a Fearne Cotton gag about it

Pic looks a bit odd as there are three different types of grill in it, as if someone can't make up their mind

 

[henderson]

does anyone know where i can get this bottom grille?

Love mine with streamline grills but depends on the other bits you already have on the car. I wouldn't change them if my car was in anyway standard, the grilles are too extreme and trust me, they look huge when you fit them. I hated the standard grilles as they dated the look of the car, not to mention fade really badly. Streamlines does make the car look more modern. Also given the extra heat from the turbo, they are functional too. Also if you go with the carbon, would look odd IMO if you didn't have anything else that wasn't carbon too...

 

[henderson]

yeah i agree litchy,thinking of carbon diamonds to go with them if angel sticks to his promise,if not i'll probably paint them satin black

 

[Rogue]

Hence why I'm getting mine sprayed. Its the only way I'll stop myself from getting a carbon bonnet to match!

At first I thought no, but now I think about it it could look great. Red diamonds, intakes, wheels and wing mirrors. Might clash with the calipers though.

I'll do a photoshop tomorrow at work.
