[Sag]

Get it sprayed black Ell! But otherwise looks good

[Danny]

Black would look good :)

like it mate!

[Simon72]

Looks good, but you need to sort out those plastic ties, they stand out a bit.

[ellis]

there not plastic ties mate it is screws as it is a fitted grill

ellis

yeh i know, we have, well had one like that at work. need a furio badge on there too.

[ellis]

i fancy a VTR- mate lol opposite to a plus + betta still just a vtr lol

ellis

whichever you choose it does suit it on the Grill.

[gixxer]

Not really a fan of mesh tbh....

if its been put on and isn't square with the bodywork I think it looks a bit well.... 'chip shop'

spray it black might look good on your black car though :wink:

[ellis]

kk i will bear it in mind lol

ellis

[ellis]

i don't think that it will stand out then just look like the standard 1

- Modified cars from the showroom with simple touches like wheels :)
- Showcars are getting wilder, 22's on 2-door coupes, wild paint, see-through rims!
- Dudes with VWs Ranting about "Subtle" :lol:
- Track Cars/Sleepers becoming alot more common with lots of new products on the market.
- ICE heading from SPL (Volume) to SQ (Sound Quality)....Hopefully!

[Jaimz]

Hooray :)

[Simon72]

[ellis]

[cooldudes_vts]

I like it mate, either black or in its original state.
Its great to see you buzzing with your car dude.

[ellis]

buzzing rob wtf lol

ellis

[Bump]

Black would look good BUT you really need to get them well-done as they get chipped REALLY easily and look poop very soon :(

[petrolhead]

I like it, but it would look equally as good in black.

[spooky_fish]

yep spray it!

[chambers]

Ellis, where did you get the lower corners (spliters) for your front bumper? Were they easy to fit?

[Craig]

Nice man!

get it sprayed up though

[mikeyd54]

Ellis, where did you get the lower corners (spliters) for your front bumper? Were they easy to fit?

Its a Furio dude! They come with the VT kit! But i bonded my splitters on! :)

[Jodie-Ill...Again]

Not fussed on it that colour tbh chick - but i think it would look 110% better if it was sprayed black, but thats just my opinion ;)

[chambers]

Mikey,

so its just a case of hunting out a pair of VT* spliter (can you get them as just the spliters and not already part of the bumper, if so where?) and bonding them on should hold it?

[giannis]

i dont like it the new brace.....sorry :cry:

[mikeyd54]

I think even on the Furio, VTR , VTS they are just cliped into the bumper! But on the lower models there arn't any holes to clip them into so you either have to put holes in the bumber yourself or file the clips down and bond them on! My splitters have been bonded on as well as side skirts and they seem solid! 6 weeks in so far so good!!!!!!!! :)

Sorry Ell,,, I'm gonna say go with the black re-spray!!!! :)

[Carlosjpt]

get the grille sprayed mate...its a DIY job..be sure to get lots of coats of black and lots of clear coat other wise you will be painting it everyweek...i should know...

cheers

[jake_greensmith]

[Wickedredc2]

[ellis]

I'm quiet pleased with those predicitions 4 years later!

[Wickedredc2]

can you even remember how much you paid for it? not exactly but im sure it was 20 or more. and tbh what does it really matter. its sitting in a cuboard doing feck all.

[ellis]

not exactly but im sure it was 20 or more. and tbh what does it really matter. its sitting in a cuboard doing feck all.

It was £15 excluding postage. came to about £18. Fair point about it doing feck all. I paid £33 off ebay including postage for it to start with.
