Has anyone got any pics of the eyebrows the same colour as the car just to see what it would look like?

I dont personally like them painted or unpainted, when painted they look like a kid with their front teeth missing if you get my meaning?
They should be an extention of the grill not the bonnet imo

It depends on the colour to a certain extent - darker colours look better IMO. I've sprayed mine delphin metallic to match the body and will fit them when I can get around to taking the the grills out. It's easier to change them to black later if I want. Grantfk10 has his body coloured and I quite like that look. It's all down to your own personal taste since it's your car.

I used to have colour coded eyebrows and kidney grill which I thought was cool at the time...

But then I got bored with it and decided to go back to black and ditch the eyebrows a few months ago and I prefer it as it is now...

do all your grill and the kidneys with the satin black. like this.

sorry havent got a better pic of the grill, but if you just do the brows and the kindeys then it will look odd as the plastic wont match.

if your grills black then leave them black, if the quality of the plastics good you may be able to leave them completly unpainted.

thats what i mean though, when i spreyed mine the kidneys were a lot blacker than the grills, so i had to do the lot, it leaves them nice and quick to clean as well.

I agree with the above mate... theres nothing wrong with colour coding, but in my opinion when done, it just looks like theyre just "stuck" on... i mean they dont really blend in nicley... you've got the spaces etc... and it shows up more when c/coded
Im going to get mine done black... too , to match my kidney grill... or i just might get a customised one piece welded into the bonnet!

Right so Ive sprayed the brows black, and got some self tappers.
Im just a bit lost with where to fit them.
I have put them where I think they should go but there is a plastic piece which seems to be in the way.
Do the brows go under this plastic bit?
Any help would be great

Take the light/grill surround out each side , 2 clips at the top and 2 x thread screws between the slats , Remove the foam off the top of this if needed , Line them up with the corner curved edge and screw on then put back on the car if that makes sence
