Pleased with the finish... on to my next mod he he !!!
I got all mine materials from Halfords. I used some sanding pads, primer, Satin Black Paint and the chrome strip. Its a tag thinner but not really noticeable once on. You need to paint the top grills lower chrome edge black to match in with the bumper so it matches. My grill was a satin finish anyway as I use a plastic trim cleaner on it so it all fitted in well. Its easy to do and didnt take too long, good luck and show pics when done.
Hey Clayton,
The strip comes with self adhesive from Halfords. It is ample strong enough to keep the chrome on. Yeah like Sarah says, get some pics up, wen ur done. Enjoy the mod, I was well chuffed with my result.
another quick question please, did you remove the top grill to spray the bottom part of the crome? how many coats of primer/paint did you use? how long did you leave each to dry? just a rough idea of how long the mod will take to complete?
much appreciated
