I would saqy Warren the grills are high chrome finish, very bright......might not work just on the bottom, since you kinda going matt black top grills with high chrome bottom?.....i fitted my top 3 grills first and they looked good on their own though....
Go straight to Zunsport though (Zunsport are far from the cheapest place) i e-mailed them after GreatGonzo said he went straight to Zunsport too...the owner mailed me back with a very healthy discount code
.....i got all the grills for £30 more than the top Grill set on its own

Will post some pis shortly, been wet so aint bathing it!....will look a lot like Gonzo's though i guess.......I'm pleased with the grill....terrifying to fit for me though...hated man handling the grills out of the top, then went on to hate drilling 4mm holes in the front bumper!....only took an hour for the lot, but not for the faint hearted mate!!..
I think the car now looks classier, and more descerning, un like is owner

Far as i know YES??..it made fitting the Zunsports interesting as you measure from the lip in the lower spoiler.....A lip that is covered in a standard black grill in mine, so had to prize the tap measure under it for correct fitment.....now are'nt i clever....Johnny 2 lower grills they call me...

Clearly is mint from the pics, and everyone on here knows how you are about car hygiene
......GLWS mate, shame though.....getting another one, or sticking with the wagon only>?
Six speed and a 2.1 etc would make me very happy

Definately gonna get a front splitter, think it should go pretty well with the tinted windows & black alloys. Absolutely loving the car, even though it is a bit thirsty for the petrol!

Hi Gonzo,
I've absolutely no idea what spoiler it is but I can tell you it's bloody heavy! I'm guessing that it must've been painted somewhere along the way before fitment.

Ever since I saw John welch giving it sideways in his xtrac astra with black wheels many moons ago, that was it the seed was planted & I absolutely love black wheels, just happens that crystal grey is my fav colour (was looking for my05 as didn't think I could afford a 56 plate but got a great deal). However, there must be something about our little spec d's because wether the wheels be silver/black/white they all look good. I honestly haven't seen a bad looking spec d yet.
Keep the pics coming.
