fist of all me cars now mot'd for a year nice 1
failed first time on single wiper being upright and head lights havin a blue tint 2 them
so sorted them out went back down and its passed
the tester was a sound bloke altho his spunk monkey of an apprentice wasnt :evil:

he nearly missed the ramps and put me car down the pit
then he kept revin the knackers off me car and stalling it
generally drvin it 2 fast on2 the brake tester and off the ramps
he also put a seat cover on top of me cobra seats and still managed 2 get a mucky mark on them and ive just cleaned them :evil:

still at least me exhaust and window tints passed no probs so happy now

secondly
i was wonderin what u thought about sprayin my grill
am going 2 scrappers 2 get another one and spray it grey like my bumpers just after general opinions on peoples thoughts of what it will look like

i dont like it, imo, it looks tacky, i prefer the more colour coded look, matching body work, grille and bumpers, all my car is, i meshed the grille as well, (cut my hands up like i was using a meat clever! lol) and it looks good!

i think having a the grille matching the bumpers when a different colour to thr car looks dated!

but thats just my opinion and i have no style! :|

^^ i do have style (tho not with my nova lol), and you're right, it does and will look shite.

Keep the mesh matching the bumpers, but not the grille itself. If you want a contrasting or two-tone look, it only works if it follows 'a line' round the whole car. With the only possible exception being the side-skirts.
