Changing the kidney gril color to match black and red....

[khalidfh]

This is the state before upgrading



So, first lets do similar to what I did for the steel bar
testing which collection is better

For me, I prefer only the frame of the grill and there are two cross steel in the back
Do not remove the grill as some do, forcing it or pulling it hard, instead see this video and the grill will go off easy

or this one


Once you remove it, I dismantle the grill from the frame







So before and after,,,which one is better....

I think there are cultural differences across the world when it comes to ‘tweaking’ one’s car…

In the greater township of Swinside in the Scottish Borders that’s not one for us…

But…each to their own!


But the ‘before’ wasn’t so good either…

IMHO no stripes anywhere is the way to go, especially those M stripes on a car that isn't an M.

But on a car with no chrome anywhere else why would you want it on the kidneys?

Good that you like it. Not for me though. Has the look of a go faster Rover from yesteryear.

May wish to mask your plate for privacy.

Now I want to see the other sides and wheels. We call those "speeding ticket magnets" where I come from. If a group of cars is exceeding the legal limit, the highway police will instantly be attracted to that car and not mine! I encourage more of this for that reason!

That is a very polite way of saying "it looks like shite".
Personally would have just gone with "it looks like shite". But then I have social awareness issues.

Can't help but smile that this is a "how to" thread.

"How to make the front of your E89 look absolutely dreadful". And the bonnet stripes are awful aswell!

I now have to do the "ETTO" thing to absolve myself of any blame to offence taken. So ETTO.

Why?

I see my role in our evolving relationship is to act as a polite counterbalance to what most people patently think but are too polite to comment…

Of course in FB land there are no shortage of , IMHO, some shockingly ghastly examples of bad taste…


“You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment"

I have read that several times and still have no idea whether you are having a snide 'pop' or not.

Luckily I couldn't give a toss either way.

 

[Christopher72]

Why?

Just privacy. I'm likely too cyber-paranoid... but I get it honestly.

Lol, it wouldn't fit in my tastes either, but where I live ppl jack up their truck suspensions and then use them only on the roads. Where he lives, that may be the only way hey can find his black car amoungst a sea of them.

Kind of like watching the Great British Baking Show. It's a bit ghastly, but you need to watch to the end to find out how bad its going to get... I want to see the sides and rear!.. maybe he has a whale tail on it for B21!
