Finally finished getting all the bits for my front grille!
Inspired by Aspired
Slightly different to Aspired, i wanted the black grill in between to remain to match the fog light grill colour.
A couple of starter pictures till i get time to wash the car and take more!

Looks great. Did you use one piece of vinyl? Does it have any bubbles in it? I had trouble to get it on top lip without bubbles,as it did not stretch enough. I am thinking of doing it again using 2 pieces.
Aspired has the original aspire grills.
I painted and chromed my fog lamp surrounds to match the grills.

One piece, had air bubbles but they eventually disappeared.
Got some creases on the top of it but i will get them out eventually.
Yeah he has the chrome aspire grills, i wanted the grill in the fog light and the main grill to be the same.
I like ur fog surrounds
I dont have any other chrome on the car so didn't want anything else chrome.

That looks sweet.
Was talking to hotlanc this afternoon, and he decided that he was going to do exactly what you have done
pure coincidence! His car is white though!

It certainly works on the black !!! I wouldn't do it on a colour like mine, it would be lost in translation!

yeah i had a blacked out middle before....
Looked alright but couldn't see it unless the car was spotless!
Need a contrast with the black
