This is one thing im not sure of, Whether to cut the center part of the grille out or leave it in and spray it.
Most people cut it out.

Yeah, the "e" makes a big difference.
You haven't posted a picture of the standard 220 coupe older style grille - the lat. I've always preferred that to the newer style chrome grille.
I have considered that if I buy a later model coupe with the chrome grille I may retro-fit the old style grille. I might leave it as it is to see if it grows on me. I have to say Cessna's makes it look much better than I've ever seen it on another newer coupe. Compare his to a picture of FD's (before it was crashed - sorry FD :cry: ).

I have to admit - the early design without the chrome is my favourite :D

All depends on the colour of the car IMO
Ste's one looks cool, but would look poo on a white car.

I have to say the shark tooth grill, as that's the one I've got on my BRG 220 GTI, complements the Roversport (I think!) bumper nicely. Will post a pic tomorrow if I remember! :)

I'd say shark tooth if you wanted race/turbo looks,

but i like the meshed style like mine aswell, looks neater/tidy.

The one in Nads pistures looks the best, i have got a bdge less type [Thanks Fev you are a god mate :wink: ] and looks very good just prefer the old type without a grill thats all. I am not intending on changing it though starting to look to much like some one elses [better] car any way.

doesn't look too bad on white and orange!

Steves got away with no backing plate as its a metal grill I recon, mine is a plastic one and theres no strength without it..


I must admit though I like the look of the shark nose -this isn't a std grill is it?
How much are they?

cheers
