That's the one I got, not too bad fitting and quality.

Looks a tidy grill that m8 might fancy 1 as my grill needs wrapping and painting
What year is your car m8?

I received it about 2 weeks after ordering, although I did miss delivery a couple of times.

cheers mate, its a 57 reg

I second that. Have found better results using VP Citrus pre wash than VP snow foam

But i did see a good review bilt hamber autofoam in a comparison test. Worked quite well tbh

Thanks
Does it need painting then or is it glossy as it is?

 

[nick-fr]

Its not very glossy but its not too flat, but it seems to match the looks of the lower grills if that makes sense.

My grille is matte at the moment, wanting to spray it gloss soon. Did you prime it? And did you do thick layers??

Yeah put about 3 layers of primer on, then 6-8 layers of gloss black and a few layers of lacquer. Nice and thick so hopefully it doesn't chip easily.

Finally got round to fitting my splitter, well happy with how it looks.

Don't normally like the badgeless grilles but that looks really good.

Well my RS4 deposit was spent on other things. The missus decided we have to move to a new house and spent it. So keeping the Leon for a wee while longer. Found the perfect RS4 as well But what my partner and baby needs. They get I guess haha

Mines up on axel stands , dropping wheels off for paint this week.Going to spend my nights painting the calipers/hubs/disc guards , then machine polish and wax. Clay barred it today so I'm all ready to rock.

Need to sort the wheel centres , they are silver and I'm getting the wheels done black. They are corroded round the edges so I will either paint them black , get new stickers , or try and mask off the chrome "S" and paint round it

Sat for hours in traffic doing the annual drop off and pick up for the great north run. Got even more depressed when I only caught up to a fabia vrs at 120 in my standard fr

 

[JamesLCR]
