View Full Version : Grill - yay or nay?
In the process of resprayin my Sax and wondered what other peoples opinions was on a grill I photoshopped onto a pic.

Always been a fan of white/red colour combo tbh I reckon it would look mint
(The bumper and grill look loose because they wernt bolted on at that point lol)
Cheers..

i like it mate
whos doing your respray?
My dad. He's been sprayin cars pretty much all his life so he knows the ins and outs. Won't be perfect sprayin in a garage but we've blown all the dust we can out and had a good clean. Should be sprayed by weekend or just after (All colourcoded white with red mesh grill and fogs) so will put some pics up when its sprayed and coloursanded.

Am I the only one that thinks it looks a bit, errr.... Halfords?
Mesh should be black.

Each too their own mate :) If it looks tacky when its done properly then its easy enough to spray the mesh black :p

Would look good if you keep to a red theme mate, red wheels for example or red lip on them at least, etc. :y:

looks nice imo, would set it off great if you carried the theme off on a few things on the car.
Deffo goin to keep the theme but minimal red. I'm thinkin white rims with red rim tape :)

yeah keeping minimal is best option in my opinion, makes the bits that are done stand out fully.
keeping white wheels clean is a HUGEEE pain just to inform you!ha
White + Red = Win
in my books

yea i'd go for it if u like it,its not really something id do to my car but everyone has there own tastes but id go easy on the red its easy to over do it.. red badges and red calipers would prob do it and maybe a red pinstripe around the wheels and id leave it at that tbh but looking good so far mate

I quite like it mate, only concern...did you not mask up and cover the windscreen before spraying..or do you intend to replace it?

lol I noticed that.
I reckon black mesh would be nicer, but if you have some more subtle red mods on the car it could look pretty good. White wheels with red rim tape would look the balls... and red leather interior ;)

Knew someone would say something lol :P The bonnet flew open when the previous owner was drivin down a dual carriageway and its cracked all the window beyond repair and bent the old bonnet and hinges so had to replace them, and thought it would be easier to replace window after sprayin so I dont have to bother maskin it up.
Cheers for the feedback all :)
