Grill spraying?

Click image to enlarge

This might be a long shot but does someone have a picture of the original grill fitted to the 2006 on diesel but sprayed to match the car. I have been working through bits on mine, bonnet grill, side vents, wing mirror caps and painting them red as you can see in the pic. But I am unsure what to do with the front grill (it was on when I got the car), useful suggestion was spray the grey surround red but I was thinking that with the new brighter lettering maybe all red is the way to go, particularly as the old grills are pretty much free on eBay.

Photo's, thought's and opinion's all gratefully received Thumbs Up Geoff

to much red me thinks, even your side grills should be silver.. ... - .- -.

I can always put the chrome mirror caps back Rolling with laughter , side vents were all grey but dark so I sprayed the solid part, the side grill bit is still silver albeit a dark silver. Geoff

Personally I like it. The paint & the car flow beautifully Bow down The reason women's minds are cleaner than a mans mind is that women change their minds more often!
When women say fine a mans in deep doodoo as fine has so many meanings.

You should really keep the "grey bar" on the front, composed of the headlights and grill.

I would simply paint the bonnet grill, front grill mesh and side vents mesh Dark Atlas.

Avoid painting the lettering red. Too much colour coding kills it, unless it is black.

However, seeing how nice you FF is, why not go all in and treat it with a 2012 conversion? l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

Maybe I'm weakening on the conversion front, it's just the cost that puts me off but having seen a few I suppose I'll sucumb eventually (couple of years Smile Very Happy ) but in the meantime what should I do with the grill - just leave it seems a good option. Geoff

Dont colour code a standard grill, honestly it will look pants.

Looks good as is. Could do the surround, but think more may be less. It is looking good as is. Put the rattle cans away. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I thought I wanted to do my grille surround, mine has some chips and wear....until I saw one on the road.

Makes it look quite a bit smaller?
