Looking fir grille

[kingy85]

Am looking to source a grill for a 2001 Saxo vtr, if anyone has one knocking about please let me no. Or can I remove it completely and mesh the gap? Will this work or look any good?

Remove it and mesh the gap.
Will look qualiteee.

Ok cool. That and tidying up the wheels are the first on my list just doing some searching for easiest and cheapest way to do the wheels, not sure on gun metal grey or black.

[Gabbastard]

always bet on black.

What colour is the car?

[MiniGibbo]

I hear gloss from homebase is the best paint to use on wheels.

Synthetic or wool paint roller though?

[kingy85]

Car is gold.

[potatopete]

Car is gold.

I think either black or grey for the wheels would look good, I personally would go grey with gold.

For wheels I use a 4" brush, I find the rollers even the mini's cant get in all the nooks and crannies..

Funny man!

[kingy85]

Ok will give a brush a go, what paint to I buy? The plastic coating on the alloys are peeling off so will just pick it all off light sand down and paint?

[MiniGibbo]

Your wheels are plastic coated :detective:

[Mochachino]

Practice safe sex.

[kingy85]

Well it's not plastic I no that but only word could think of to describe it.

[Mochachino]

You mean Mackerel Coated?

[kingy85]

Maybe! Lol

[MiniGibbo]

Maybe the previous owners thought they'd protect the wheels by melting candles over them..

ok as a painter i just loved the last few comments 1 its not wax or plastic (as such) its lacquer and 2 why would you brush paint your wheels? if you cant afford to send them to a spray shop at least use aerosol waaaaaaaaay better christ buy paint £10-£20 the most and i'll spray em im not the best sprayer but at least you wont have bristles in your wheels!

[MiniGibbo]

I'm sorry moddedmartin your skills are obviously well modded above ours..

Thread got serious.

Bristle effect is good though, its what the OP is after.

If your painter, should you not be a good sprayer...?

Better change your name to ModdedMiniGibbo to be on par with him. ;)

[MiniGibbo]

I'm not modded enough.

Might be a house decorator, not a car painter sprayer man

[MiniGibbo]

Then he should know all about painting wheels with a brush...
