Yay or nay?

[banderson]

Decided I like the look of the BG's with yellow fogs so bought a sheet of lamin-x

Fitted it today, looks great from the front but unsure of it from an angle with the wheels in view :S

From this:

To this:

I also felt that the grille was plain without the original stickers (possibly been removed for spraying) so I ordered som new not a great mod but I am pleased with the outcome

Not a great thread but comments welcome

 

[dazzyb87]

Looks good to me, not usually a fan of those sorts of wheels. So must look good. Engine bay looks tidy too

 

[.Andy.]

YAY

 

[Vish]

Looks great from the front. Love the red, white, blue strips! A little odd with the wheels in view but would still keep it.

 

[adam172]

Yay from me too. Awesome looking car !

 

[Joe#]

It suits BG really nicely.
P.s your car looked great at fcs

 

[Nipples]

I say yay. Looks great. Real nice in yellow. Thumbs up.

 

[Jonny1*2]

yay! looks bang on. Where on earth did you get the stickers from btw :S Wouldn't even know where to look.

 

[dezmondo]

Yay too, wheels ftw!

 

[Martin_172]

ohh, where do the stickers come from? renault parts or is it an aftermarket thing someones making up?

 

[R56_Ollie]

Its a yay fo'shaw.

 

[markhinton]

The little french flag on the grille looks superb - I might have to take that idea if that's alright, is it just some coloured electrical tape?

 

[Tomo 211]

Yay !

I bloody love this car, for me looking at the pics it was my car of the show at FCS, how did you do the french flag thing on the grille is it just tape ?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Nice.

Congrats on being a non-sheep and actually, right now, I think having the nicest looking car that's popped up on here in a while !

 

[Wick]

Electrical tape FTW.... Love this when I first saw it

 

[Englebert]

Love the French flag idea! Not so keen on the yellow fogs, purely because it is yet another colour you're introducing.

 

[Rob]

Love the grille, love the wheels, don't like the fogs. Sorry.

I took a good look at your motor at FCS, very nice indeed.

 

[Mike...]

I too love the french flag!

I like the fogs from the front but not so sure at the angle.

Your bay looks spiffing too!

Lovely looking car!

 

[Coby.]

I'm going to say no for the fogs but the rest is stunning.

 

[Revels]

French flag is brilliant.

 

[Steven103]

As above, french flag is very nice little bit of detail.

Fogs looked amazing till I saw the wheels :dead: but then again I wouldn't have those wheels with normal fogs... or indeed anything... (though possibly excluding a large cheque)

 

[Tunst]

I might ahve to steal that french flag idea

 

[Wests Renault]

i like them

 

[Goodj]

Selective yellow fogs are winners, good man.

And I'm off down to Wickes now for some sparky-tape.

nice one bruvvah!

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

yep. like that.

 

[Joe#]

I might bring some tape home with me tonight from work not sure I'd I've got any red tape in my van though

 

[Y7 ADW]

Love this car. Love the french flag on the grille, I don't know whether it would look good on any other coloured 182/172 apart from black...

 

[Daz.]

Aye that french flag will unfortunately be stolen - LOTS!

Great touch with the stickers - I ordered some from renault when I got my new grille - finishes it off nicely

I was about to say, I think you've started something here - I've just got myself some tape and I'm doing it once the car comes back from it's MOT! It'll be the new 'in look' for the CS sheep

 

[Y7 ADW]

I have just photoshopped it on mine, actually looks pretty good. Deffinately started something

 

[Gally]

Will look good on RB to i'd think.

Looks great mate I simply love the wheels. As I said before i'd like to see them all Red.

Yellow fogs cheapen the car.

 

[Goodj]

right, so what thickness of tape is needed to do this well?

 

[markhinton]

Doesn't matter as you can overlap without it looking too bad - if you want it perfect, try and find some that's roughly an inch wide!

 

[sava001006]

yey for me, not usually a fan off yellow fogs but your car seems to suite them

 

[HartZ]

yay, i thought at 1st when i read this i didnt think it would look as good as it does, good work mate

 

[dmallett]

Yay. utter win!

 

[Goodj]

Bandwagon, got right in there.

WARNING - Contains stripes and a car that needs a wash

[KEVRSI]

looks good , grille is a class touch love it

 

[MikeoftheQuays]

Spotted this in the myriad of FCS threads and liked the French flag motif on the grille.

Not gonna steal the idea though (even though I have a roll of each colour of electrical tape in my desk drawer right now!). Though had I thought of it first I'da done it fo'sure.

 

[Ellis182]

very nice dude, how did you do those french colours on your grill
