Just been outside to put the black grille on. Only took 5 minutes but me hands are frozen. Football now, and I think the gloves may be coming out! Thoughts on the grille please?

my view would be the outside of it being chromed, thats my view lol
[quote=dazab;452619]my view would be the outside of it being chromed, thats my view lol[/quote] As it's probably too late for chrome (Or you didn't get the chrome one) maybe body colour the outside edge instead.
I think it needs a little something on it, just to full the void. I did this to my last two: [COLOR="Red"]Trixy[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]Fluffy[/COLOR]
Looking good mate :B_thumb: Very nice, It has totally changed the front end for the better.
Looks mean mate, perhaps a Chrome T5 badge in a lower corner? When are you doing the D5?
[quote=martinrpeachey;452635]Looks mean mate, perhaps a Chrome T5 badge in a lower corner? When are you doing the D5?[/quote] I've a few jobs planned for the D5, but refurbing the Titans has to take priority. Then the tints, and possibly follow your thread on the p2 grille.
[quote=Tomcat;452620]As it's probably too late for chrome (Or you didn't get the chrome one) maybe body colour the outside edge instead.[/quote] It's a used one and it came without the chrome. So I think your idea of the body colour around the edge has to be the one to go with thanks.
A set of Projector Lamps Similar to Frankies would make that Look Ace

[quote=martinrpeachey;452635]Looks mean mate, perhaps a Chrome T5 badge in a lower corner? When are you doing the D5?[/quote] Just had a look on eBay, and the only chrome T5 badge is £24.50. Does anyone have a spare one that they would sell for less than that please?
Mark i think i have the T & 5 in chrome but just as a letter and number, not the badge as such, i doubt they will look nice...??? If you want, i will send them to you for free mate, i just took them off...well i dont know why, maybe for you! lol Grill looks smart by the way, goes well with silver cheers

[quote=t5frankie;452792]yeah mate ring them direct tell him your a forum member he may give a discount, he is on here sometimes[/quote] I like the way that they send a few sweets with every order, even a few door seal clips that I bought the other week! The kids usually whip the sweets, but it's a nice touch.

[quote=dazab;452882]dont you dare!! you will end up with a very jealous daza b!!! haha[/quote] To be honest, I thought they would be about that much each, never mind a pair. Something I would like, but later in the year.
