Colour-coding front grilles

[Yugguy]

Ok, Ive had a look at the colour coding guide, seems simple enough, just lengthy.



But has anyone tried colour-coding their front grilles? Does spraying work on all those nooks and crannies?

 

[David]

hmmm not sure if it would look that good tbh...get some1 to do a photoshop

 

[Pete]

It would work, altho a pain in the arse to rub down.

 

[Yugguy]

Thats what I thought, about the sanding. Its just that I fancy silver grilles but Im too stingy to pay for them. I guess the best bet would be a paint bath?

 

[connor]

depends really... the black grills do a good job of seperateing the colour...

It looks really good, clioman has done his silver.

I hate when people paint it silver or mesh, it looks so ugly and Max Power. Not an enviable look on a 172.

I think a k-tec grilled would look nice on a black/silver 172 but otherwise, forget it!

could anyone tell me if a 172 grill would fit a 1.2 clio extreme? and do renault sell them seperately from the bumper? if so how much...

i reckon they look nicer than any of the above..

 

[connor]

yeah k-tec grills fit non 172s....

coz david with the blue one has one!

My mate has got the upper and lower one on his 172 and it looks the mutts nuts!

im tempted to buy both the upper and the lower simply coz they together cost less than the normal 172 grill!

just spray it dont need rubbing down-very easy to do

id fancy a 172 grille for mine, but im happy with mine as it is. I still, personally, aint too convinced about the k-tec one. It just doesnt look right to me, kinda like cookin foil wi holes in it. Only my opinion tho, just like others wont like mine (even tho it cost about £2 to paint hehe)

 

[clio_lass]

i dont like the k tech one either.... id love the 172 grille but i think its pricey from renault?
