New Grille...What do you think????

rowell88 · 07-06-2008, 10:30

Just fitted my colour coded grille bought off a fellow member.

I'm still not sure if I like it though.

Opinions please.

Babs · 07-06-2008, 10:31

I've always liked the chrome, sorry!

SCVRS · 07-06-2008, 10:35

I like them both, but I think the colour coded one looks meaner! If thats what you wanted then I reckon you have achieved it!!

Also everyone else has a chrome one, I would change my 2 colour coded ones, if they weren't silver!

That seems slightly pointless!

I like it

rowell88 · 07-06-2008, 10:36

Thats what I think now i've put it on!

Just thought I would try something different.

I'll prob end up putting the old grille back on.

Karaibrahim · 07-06-2008, 10:37

Nice. I think it would look better if you fit a retro all black & white skoda badge.

rowell88 · 07-06-2008, 10:37

I think it looks a bit more understated without the chrome.

I'll leave it on for a while and see if it grows on me.

Mossman · 07-06-2008, 10:45

Chrome for me old chap

ultra_joel88 · 07-06-2008, 12:12

Matt black would look good

jasc1988 · 07-06-2008, 12:15

black FTW

Robshaw · 07-06-2008, 12:52

I like the Red - It was what I would have done to my Fabia if I didn't sell it.

sleithykeithy · 07-06-2008, 19:00

Colour coded all the way! The chrome just looks cheap, and doesnt fit in with the rest of the car, as theres no other chrome trims anywhere. Im yet to see a yellow or race blue one colour coded though. Anyone got any pics?

micklecats · 07-06-2008, 20:48

Chrome for me but colour coded on a black car looks nice

andy2407 · 07-06-2008, 20:58

Chrome for me too sorry.

I think colour coding looks great on blue or black, but it doesn't do it for me on the red sorry

Skodaboy1983 · 08-06-2008, 08:40

Another one colour coding their grille, please stop it's getting me tempted!

Looks good mate.

Imperator · 08-06-2008, 09:29

I think it looks miles better, mate.

Chris.G · 08-06-2008, 11:41

Looks great. Much better colour coded.

Chrome = Nasty, unless on a luxury car IMHO.

Leave it as is

warwick hunt · 08-06-2008, 11:49

ive just bought a red one was contemplating doin the grill red and surround satin black...your red surround diffo class to the chrome...

VeeKar · 08-06-2008, 15:22

Never thought I'd be this bothered but after colour coding mine I cant look at a chrome grille without feeling sick

Lofty86 · 08-06-2008, 18:11

Looking good.

Would be interesting to go matt black as mentioned.

clidgevrs · 08-06-2008, 23:12
