I'm sticking to my guns on that one and leaving them black, just to break up the sea of blue!

Thanks fella The RA was originally my inspiration, I loved its clean no nonsense looks, hence me removing the skirts and hockeysticks. The rest was, imo, enhancing whats already there!
The front bumper took about 6 months thought before coming up with, what is, a relatively simple soloution!

Yeah I think a DLSR will be the next step.....

Put it on for NBO but not posted any pics the early low level (boomerang) spoiler



I also took a photo of it whilst it was spoilerless tbh I'm quite tempted......

I don't think that colour suits the spoilerless look.

If I did go spoilerless (which I prob won't ) I'd have to go much much lower first!!

Right I've never been 100% happy with my 'badgeless' grille. Was thinking of adding some mesh but thought it wouldn't look oem enough.
I bought another grill off a fellow nwc member and set to work....

Firstly I removed the original badge and surround



And trimmed some of the mesh part I removed from my other grille



Placed in position



Plastic welded together



After a bit more adding and welding of plastic filling etc I'm at this stage.



Small amount of sanding then it can be painted
