New Honeycomb Grill?

<< < (2/2)

gj124:
I rubbed mine down with some scotchbrite (took a while to get in all the honeycombs) and painted it with plastikote satin black. Still looks good and it was a year and a half ago. Considered using G4 etc but you'll just have to keep applying it to keep it looking black. If you're doing the main grille, consider changing the lower one as well to 'complete the look'. They're only around £20 on ebay so might as well do it while you're there.

SANDEGTI:







Managed to find a very cheap brand new bottom grill so replaced it as suggested, the previous one had a bunch of stone chips and scratches anyway. The difference in colour is like night and day, I ordered some C4 and I'm hoping everything will match in and if it doesn't they're getting replaced too.

Bottom grill was a genuine pain in the a*s to remove, not sure if it's supposed to be that difficult or what but one thing I've learnt in my ownership of VW's is that you just have to yank it until it budges. :laugh:
