Hi all,

Just been messing with the car, went and topped up the water spray bottle in the boot as I was getting sick of seeing the little warning light flickering on and off. Whilst i was in the boot, I thought I'd see what the Zunsport mesh grill thing looked like that the guy I bought the car off gave me when I picked it up last week.

So, what do you guys think..

With:

(oh and before anyone says about the detango, yes, that will be getting done in the next week or so plus the black mod )





Or Without:

Nothing wrong with it but clashes nasty with the black, gold, pink etc.

Spray it black and it will look good, car as it is looks better without

Interesting. I actually was leaning towards leaving it out, but since taking those photos I've put it in properly (sits a little further back in the bumper) and it does look much better in the flesh (the mrs thinks it looks better, so thats probably a good indicator to remove it )

I'll take a new pic of it tomorrow and see if that makes any difference.

With regards to painting it black, my initial thought was that it will chip very easily then look really carp. I had a friend who did similar with his front mount as he didnt want it too obvious, but it soon looked really rough!

I think it's showing a bit of STI badge overkill! There's four on the front of that now!
