Title: Shiney Black front Grill thingy
Post by: S2 Ant on July 02, 2010, 11:08:34 am

Just wondering, what grill is used to get this finish, the shiney black grill piece, without the number plate - is that the standard GTi grill with the plate holder removed and then smoothed and repainted?

My car has a carbon wrapped grill, so not sure what its supposed to look like, but i'd prefer this smooth black finish.
Cheers
