My bright red nose

martyrobertsdj · 28-06-2006, 17:12

Sorry if it's in the wrong bit of the forum, but.....it is a modification isn't it??

Literally a fifteen minute job (including a clean of the component parts)

Not a bad mod for about £75 all in (including new grille surround) I think it makes the car look better.

Nice job. I want to paint mine black, but no doubt i'll mess it up.

beeftech · 28-06-2006, 18:45

Is that just done with an aerosol, or did you get a bodyshop to do it???

Looks kinda cool BTW, Can you do a side/front shot so i can see the whole car??

Cheers
Steve

I bought a new chrome surround (about £40) and took it to the Skoda dealers bodyshop.
Cost me £29.87 for the colour coding.

I fitted it myself......like I say, took about 15 minutes.

Please don't mock the ride height and wheels........I'll be getting the Eibach pro-kit very shortly and I have my eyes on some VERY nice 17" wheels. Going to have a play on Photoshop and see what they look like.
Was fancying 18's, but can't be arsed with messing about to get clearances, etc.

Oh yeah....ignore the dates on the pictures, I keep forgetting to set the date correctly. The pics were taken yesterday!!

Nice mod, looks sweet. I suspect a red car is the best colour for this mod to look its best.

Very nice indeed

this is on my to do list..... might include a pair of eybrows as well..... who knows

excellent job though

martyrobertsdj · 28-06-2006, 20:35

Cheers folks. I saw the mod' done on a black car and it looked good.

I kept my original chrome grille surround, just in case it didn't look very good......however...I am happy.

beeftech · 29-06-2006, 18:51

Champo! Cheers looks good on the car! Now you've done it you do realise I'm gonna have to pinch the idea

martyrobertsdj · 29-06-2006, 20:50

Go ahead.........you don't know what wheels I'm getting......nah nah nah!!!

WeirdKerr · 29-06-2006, 22:04

i might do it to my combi

hmmmm

Fabia 12v · 29-06-2006, 22:33

looks damn site better than the chrome

HellFire · 30-06-2006, 08:10

Looks good, so if you where using the existing chrome surround you could probably get it done for £30 if you fitted it yourself

I don't like the extra line that's created having both parts the same colour, I thought maybe black would work, but I'm not liking it either (may be the angle)

Edit: just to check the angle issue:

Edit: and again, to check the 'smoothing' of the extra line (now looks too thick)

Schwarz · 30-06-2006, 13:32

Mort, have you tried it with the black bit red and the red bit black?

Just to compare.

We talking the 'Fabia Pornstar Mustache' look(below) or do you mean the actual grille bit red?

Edit: You never really know how many options you have, do you? Ha ha
