Just looking for opinions on my grille, not a big mod but still want opinions. Painted black or left standard chrome? I think black with an LCR splitter will look good.

I voted for black. IMO the chrome looks tacky. The blacks look nice & subtle.

black looks like someones stole your badge, even tackier than chrome.
red would be cool as someone else suggested. either tht or the same colour as the car.

Yeah i know what you mean Ben, it does look better in the flesh though. Because the actual grille is a kind of purpley/anthracity colour.
I think red would look tackier than black though, but cant say until ive seen a photoshop. Might give it a go on paint as i dont have it

I just saw an identical car to yours and it had the grille done in black but had left the Seat badge silver. Looked well. Do that.
