Right Chaps  :smiley:

Got some paint matched as close as I could. Inside the boot say's LC9V (Classic Green) but this is nowhere near the same colour as the swatch samples  :huh:.......nevermind, the inside of the car matches the outside so I'm not too bothered  :grin:

Not the best finish, just done with rattle cans and I'll finish the shine once the laquer has had a couple more weeks to harden.

                         

                         

                         

So what do you reckon?? I'm on the fence with this at the minute as I think I prefer the badged grill  :undecided:

Looks good but the cream badge grill might work a bit better. It's a tough one alright  :undecided: On the plus side both options look sweet  :cool::afro:
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Yeah, I think the badged grill does look the better of the two. I suppose I can swap them around as the mood takes me. At least it's done now so another tick on the list  :smiley:

I've never understood people who change their grills to debadged ones...Why would you want to do that? Aren't your proud that you're driving a VW? Keep the badge, obviously :)

If I had thought ahead and realised just how much hassle the wheels were to clean and to keep that way, I may have chosen a different route  :grin: :grin:

Unfortunately, my photography skills are so limited that you don't actually see the proper wheel colour in the pics. Don't know why but they look darker in the flesh  :undecided:

The badgeless will only be on when I'm in the mood, you know when you have a car and you see it every day, sometimes you can get a little bored of it so this way I can change it looks a little  :wink:. Maybe the badged grill should be painted green  :undecided: would maybe work with the badge.

Waiting for the call about collecting the coilovers now and then space the wheels out, should make it look a bit different.
