^^This sorry but chrome and mk3's are not a good mix.

or the other thing i was thinking about was loosing the chrome wing mirrors but have a silver bonnet wrap but just in middle of bonnet between the 2 bonnet creases if you no what i mean.
or a silver graffic on front of bonnet running back and staggering out like what the mk3 escort rs 1.6i,s had if you remember
what you recon?
or antbody got any ideas what i could do that stands out but still works with the wheels?
this is the rs16i bonnet graphic but i was gona make one like it but make it with thicker lines that go further back on the bonnet.

i personally dont like the chrome grill but if your ging with the that theme on your car the i reckon it wouldt look too bad, dont think the vinyl idea would work too well tho fella.

i would see how the chrome grill looks on, worth a punt.

i havnt bought it yet and was just fishing for ideas realy i do like the grill but as said it may look stupid and if its anything like my mirrors it will probly start to bubble.
dont want to wast £45 if i can get some better ideas?
-
fair do'z fella, in that case im fresh out of ideas lol
-
this threads got fail written all over it
-
Why not buy a standard frill or debadged grill for like a £10 and then wrap that with some vinyl chrome for 1/4 of the price would give you an idea then you might wanna spend out £45 on something more longlasting. How about a chrome sunstrip?
-
no no no no no no no no that word cannot be said enough!
-
ok ok more ideas dont have to be chrome
-
TBH stainesy i quite like the chrome touches. Makes it stand out in a crowd of mk3's i suppose lol! With the wheels, mirrors and front fog units i think the grill will look the danglies as its only chrome edges rather than the entire thing!
The black and chrome looks well on your car so i say horlicks to it! Finish what you started!

Only thing you gotta remember is, if you put anything chrome on your bonnet the sun will reflect off that mother flicker right into your mince pies!!!

A mate of mine has a matte black mk3 Polo and for a while had the raised section in the bonnet painted matte silver. It was so marmite it caused arguments on the forums :grin: I think if you want a more chrome-y look to the front end then the VW and GTI badges in chrome make a big impact on a black car. Decals are hit and miss. I quite like the one on dennis10's car though and there's another cool one in the post pictures of your mk3 thread :cool:
