Still need help with the lifter kit mate?

[oilburninnut]

i certainly do,i can't work out where the bottom bracket goes

[ScoobyChris]

Not sure I like the front as it looks a bit gawping fish (and as if someone's pinched your real grille), but I think the back looks ace completely debadged.

I agree - add some silver vision indicators and it'll be perfect. I assume there was some filling/painting to do after removing the rear skoda badge?

[Fezboy]

Same here

The back looks nice but it does look like someone has nicked part of the front grille!

What is the little silver thing on the grille, is it a badge and does it come off?

Or maybe you could stick a vrs badge over the top...

Feel free to shoot me down in flames for this, But the black Skoda badge from the engine cover might look pretty good on the grille. It'll break up the expanse of mesh.
Just an idea!

I think it looks great - intimidating- only thing is that the silver milotec badge lloks bad - should have a vRS badge stuck over it imho.....

[oilburninnut]

i knew this wouldn't be to everyone's taste,and if i am honest i have had the grill painted up for a while now and have been wondering whether to fit it or not,i think i like it and yes the milotec badge is coming off and a vrs badge is going on,as for the tailgate yes it required painting,filling and a little welding,but i love it,and all the painting on the front,i will keep the grill on till i get used to it,but i am having the chrome all sprayed up on the oem grill and will have a look at that when its done,thanks for the coments and keep em coming

[Wardy]

I'm not a fan of the Milotec look, but if you like it Gary, that's all that matters I'm kinda with Chris on the 'gawping fish' look but I think it looks a bit more like a bottlenose dolphin

On the indicator bulbs, I think some Osram Diadems would look better than just silver ones, as they'll go with your paintwork

If you do paint the front grille mate - make sure that the OEM chrome is properly removed and the base primed.
My lazy dealer didnt bother - and if I had known they wouldnt prep it properly, I would have done it myself. Nothing looks worse than chrome stone chips!

Oh and if you do go back to the OEM one - I get first dibs on buying your Milotec one!!!

[oilburninnut]

no worries bas,i think i will stick with this one for a little while,its starting to grow on me,if i get the oem one sprayed it will be done by the same guy who does all my bodywork stuff,tbh he is awesome at it

[George]

Hmm....undecided to be honest mate...

They look a bit too bulky the Milotec ones...

And i think the fact that the fog grilles have been painted and the centre grille too, makes it too....i dunno....much?

BUT....its your car, and everyone has different tastes, so well done for been individual, and keep it up!

[Dmac1969]

Nice and Clean styling there , very Euro-Look! Vrs badge on the grill instead of the Milotec one would be the only change I'd make!

[Mil]

Looks nice Maybe you should now consider dropping the car a few inches.
