Well did this to the grill, ta simon ( thugdout).
You think i should change the surround to white or leave it the black i painted it?

Looks pretty good!
My advice would be to get some fog lights, then do the same to the bottom grill. That would look very tough!

i cant put foggies in, if you look the botoom left foglight hole is actually the moulded to the pipe for my cold air, i was thinkin bout doing the bottom grills though but not all of them as it would be too much white, was thinking maybe the middle horizontal bit....

Definitely keep the black there, helps break the white up abit.
And yeh it doesn't really match anything, try doing the same or similar to the lower bit.

Hes photoshoped it, see how the other one numberplate is "888 888" or whateva, hes just chopped it to cover it up.

Since youve painted the grill white, you can see the gaps between the bonnet and grill which detract from the overall look. If you have that part back to black, it would cover the gaps and blend in alot better.
I like how you broke up the black on the bottom of the front bar.
But you really need to match your whites :)

grill all white looks much better than b4. Duno about the engine bay though. white gets dirty too easily in an engine bay

The whites are matched its just that the grill is new and the car is filthy...... it is matched paint so...
Yeh you can see the gaps... i noticed that too, i was thinking of making a small extension piece out of fibreglass just to fill the gap, also the photo angle doesnt help, when ur stood up its alot less noticeable.
The engine bay has been white for about 2 months now and in that time i've changed the oil twice, the sparkies once and had the rocker cover off a few times, the paint is pretty tough so most things wipe off, put it this way, my brake calipers have been white for 8 months and all i do is wash them with a mix of warm water, fairy liquid and a tiny bit of turps and they look fine.
Thaks for the opinions tho guys thats what i want and im happy witht hte way the bottom black bits turned out also, all it took was about 40m of masking tape.....
