Default What should I do

I brought a zunsport grille for my Scooby blob in the group buy I sorted out

Anyway I'm 50/50 at the min whether to change it and get a black grille (full length) here's a pic of my car with the grilles on



I took the top grille of yesterday to see what it would look like



What do you think? Advice appreciated

Agree with the above. It looks cheap. Better off with black one.

how easy would it be to spray them maybe gloss black would look good,what would I need to do this?
Or would it be easier to sell them and buy the black grilles?

I think the silver looks ok, but you need to de tango the lights then you will get a better over all look.

I think it would be worth me taking the grilles to a body shop and get them to spray them because I'd probably mess it up lol

I'm gonna get a quote from some body shops tomorrow to see how much it would cost shouldn't cost to much to have it done?

Satin black for sure.

Paint them yourself, it easy. Halfords will sell everything you need.

On a similar note, what would suit a black blob STI better a silver grill or a black one? Mine is black with black wheels, similar to the RB320, but the RB320 has silver grills.

I'm in two minds, has anyone put silver grills on their black blob?

I'd spray them if it were me, grey primer, matt black paint, then clearcoat lacquer. It won't come out totally matt as the lacquer gives it a bit of shine. You could skip the lacquer but I would use it for a more durable finish. That's my 2 cents anyway.
