New Very Cheap Grille Experiment

So, on the back of this very short thread : http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic40826.html

I've always liked the later style grilles as per stealth pack, so I bought a rattle can body colour / primer / satin black etc. After a few very patient days and realising you should never spray lacquer in a very cold garage in the middle of a Scottish winter, this end result was thus:

Still not sure whether I like it or not, completely changes the front end. Still, grille only cost £12.50 + £40 for paint. Got to be none of the cheapest things I've ever done to the car!
