Carbon wrap would look good :afro:

Agreed or paint the bits you want black again.  The black grille plus your lights break up the front nicely.  :cool:

Thanks chaps.
I think carbon wrap the 2 slats is the way,

my previous experience with the old rattle cans was not good.
With it being only a small area to wrap in carbon vinyl,i dont think its going to look too chavvvy.....

Only 1 way to find out :wink:

Pics to follow.

that grill looks great. the thought of carbon film usually makes me think of dodgy barry wagons but that looks good
