I like both, but the black just edges it as it ties in better with the grille :happy2:

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like you took the grill off a black car in a salvage yard as you knackered yours.

Thanks for that coco,no i bought the (primed) grille off a guy from ebay who then sprayed it matt black for me.
By the way it was a right pain in the ass trying to separate both parts of the grille so i could then put the new part onto it!!!

i think it's 100% better mate, the grill before was dull and doing what you've done lifts the front and adds some needed detail  :happy2:

thinking of doing something similar to mine (everything black but badge left chrome)

Fantastic looking eos there mate,did it come standard with the black roof?

its all tinted glass  :happy2:

but achieves the same effect, if it were silver i would have sprayed it gloss black anyway as i feel it 'ties' the car together looks wise
