The top one looks good (where the badge is) - not sure about the bottom grill though.

Maybe just looks odd (to me) on a black car - they seem to blend in more on the WR1...

Thanks for the pics - mine's black and I wondered what the mesh would look like too

Blends in on a black car if you powder coat it black before fitting

Had mine on the car for well over a year. Most people think it's too bright in pics but prefer it in the flesh.

Suits the detango headlights perfectly.

Now, that looks better Where would you get them powder coated?

Seeing yours stickered up makes me want to do mine, I just now how the wife would react Nice car

Out of interest, where's the cheapest place to get these meshes? I had a look at the main dealers and they cost an arm and a leg...

I made my own mesh grill for my STi Set back inside the opening where the plastic bit starts, sprayed it satin black. Mesh from B&Q Must have cost all of £5-£6 to make!

Scott lowe has some on his web site http://www.scottsautomotive.co.uk/Scripts/default.asp no extra charge for the matt black front mesh sets. Might be tempted to buy a set but could probaly make a set for a lot cheaper !

IMHO I have to agree..!

I think if the lower A/C grill was set back a bit it would look much better. As it is it looks a bit 'stuck on'. Sorry guy's. Does look a little better with black mesh on a black car though.

Each to their own I suppose..?

Here you go. 5 weeks & counting.

Pre-grill.










I have stainless steel door sill guards & a stainless rear bumper top guard as well as the silver PFF7's so the stainless mesh is not on its own in contrast with the black of the car. Balances it up a bit when you see it all round.

Cheers Flat Eric, just off to get some tissue before checking your wagon out again!!!

Looks world class, I am getting the front and rear under spoilers on mine, I think the rear looks brilliant inparticular and realy hugs around the rear pipe.
