Ben Seabrook 4 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 WHITE:O how are you going to keep that clean son. lolJust one little tiny weeney question' date=' will you get the grill painted the same colour as the car? And if you got the wheels you have put on it polished they would look the nuts dude[/quote']I know mate going to be tricky !!! although am planning on getting a van for work so this should be able to have some more tlc lavished on it My thoughts on the grill tooam in two minds about the grill, chaps - when I first bought it I was defo up for painting it the same colour but now with the side strips black and the splitter it seems to fit well - although tonight I did mention to Anna that I was thinking about having certain bits carbon wrapped !! and yeah I am thinking polished center's is the way forward Link to post Share on other sites
