Looks fantastic, sooo easy and for under a tenner!!!

Quick put it on the shopping channel and give it away with a free botle of cilit bang!! But I'm not finished yet, you're getting a nice new black kidney grille, a nice new black grille and a bottle of cillit bang but I'll throw in some decorators edsging sponges for all those nasty corners...... :mad:

I hear what you're saying about the uk. Funny thing is, the muslims dont take offence as they recognise Jesus as a prophet?. Plus Abraham is a pivotal character in Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

It's the prissy left wingers who are too busy trying not to offend and walking around on eggshells believing we owe the world something because of an empire that was disbanded 60 years ago!

Anyway, grille looks cool. I really like the german to england flag idea.

Gotta admit i was lazy and bought a matt black kidney grille off ebay (so lazy i haven't fitted it yet!)!!!!!

Have been thinking though, but it might look crap......

What about spraying the kidney and front grille slats in proper diamond black to match the rest of the car?!?!?!
Anyone think it would look silly being shiny??

If i can find some cheap old ones when i'm next near a breaker i might try it to see what it looks like!!

agreed, hard to make a colour coded grill work in any colour other than black/dolphin/midnight blue

Yes I have. It's like bird flu, the ilness has mutated. I've seen them on e34's too!! :mad:

Black grilles are the shiyit!!!! When I get some money, that's what I'll do. There was a couple at haynes, forgive me for forgetting who's car they were on, they looked great and her indoors liked them too
