New Grill???

Picked up a new front grill for only £40 (Hawke).....I like the idea of keeping a car mostly standard but never really thought the original HSE grill quite looked the part, thoughts please on the alternative below.....

and a top tip for anyone with dull / scratched pillars....PEANUT BUTTER......get a jar of smooth peanut butter, apply in small swirls with a cloth, let it dry while drinking tea and buff with a clean cloth.....did mine this way in the summer and stikll looks good now, though re-applied to give a bit of winter protection.......

Id colour code the outside of the grille and paint the internals black.

Ive purchased the same one but have filled in the bottom to give it a newer look.

Currently off the car again as it needs re-sanding and spraying again. Picked up the wrong bloody primer and didnt use plastic primer!!! Just waiting for the electric sander to arrive as I just cant be arsed hand sanding anymore!! Then its colour coding the outside, and maybe paint the internals gloss black, rather than matt black that I had last time.... Just cant decide between gloss or black...... 2006 HSE for Sale - £7,499 (Manchester)

Loads of bloody work!! Been at it for ages... Have to do bits here and there, work & kids seem to eat up my time.

Got some 2012 khan side vents to complete, and then I'm going to have a play around with a spare front bumper. 2006 HSE for Sale - £7,499 (Manchester)
