Do you like it??

josh263uk · 20-10-2005, 16:38

A couple of small changes make to my VRS, 1st the front lights, with the eyebrows, what do people think and 2nd the rear light clusters, in standard look very bright the black and tinted windows, again what do you guys think??

Also, should I have the Chrome part of the grill painted black??

Any input welcomed

Thanks

Keep the grille chrome. Think black would be a bit too much.

Sam Tan · 20-10-2005, 16:52

Like a bit of chrome dont go too much , looks very nice like the tints

Needs to be lower - but like the tints and the contrast of the briskoda.net sticker

Any chance of a shot from straight on to see the eye brows in all their glory?

another q.... where you get the eyebrows sprayed?

I think if your going to do anything with the rear lights dont change them - tint them.

Did mine, looks a lot better, the standard ones are very bright!

Tints look good, might need a some lighter ones on the front?

And as for the grill, colour code it black

Sod chrome, looks cheap and tacky

If you're gonna make the grille surround black, paint your grille silver like I did. There will be a nice contrast.

Tom_vRS · 20-10-2005, 19:09

If I'm honest, I'm not keen on the eyebrows. However, they look aggressive and not too "boy racer", so a thumbs up from me.

I think a black grille surround will add to the aggressive look - DO IT! Either that or a MS Designs or Milotek grille would be good.

As much as I like dark tints, at the moment it just looks like your trying to hide your ugly children

Maybe some light front tints will help to fade them in a bit?

And the rear lights look ACE! Do you want to sell me them? How did you get the look?

Sprayed the eye brows myself, bought the paint from skoda, bit expensive but it was right.

Didnt take to long either.

2/3 coats of tint spray.

I think its important to keep a bit of the chrome, just for the contrast at the front, IMO all black might look a little dull? But you may never know until you try.
Everything you've done already looks well though. Keep the chrome.
I was thinking of getting the chrome strips for the back end and around the reg plate. Think they look quite good.
Where'd you get the 'brows from?
How much?
Were they easy to fit?

Nice one.
I take it you had to spray 'em yourself?
Nice cheap job for a wicked effect!
I've not done anything to mine as yet.... too scared of messing up what's already great!!

Yep sprayed myself and very pleased with the result. I was also scared of messing up but all the spraying was done off the car and then fitted once dry.
