Have i made me car worse?
« on: 08 May 2011, 18:31:36 »
I was going to order an Irmsher Grill as a little treat for the car. Before i did though i have tested the water with rubbing down spraying and lacquering it Black. Cant make up my mind whether it looks ok and i should save my money or just buy a proper one.

 



What do you think? :)

Perhaps try changing the griffin badge for something else in chrome perhaps, to break it up slightly.  Otherwise I think it looks better than the chrome as it is in standard.  ;)

Whether you decide to keep it or not, atlest you got a idea how a irmscher grill will look on the miggy! (without the v).
I say will look good if you get a irmscher or steinmetz one!  :y

I say have a go at making yours a debadged one.
Seeing as you're thinking of replacing it anyway.

Get some of that p38 fibreglass stuff or whatever it is, and try and removed the V and replace it with straight across bars.

Bit of sanding then, and some paint again and it will look pretty good.

Would need to bridge the gap temporarily with something, while you shape and set the fibreglass....
But you know what i mean.

I'm not overly keen on it myself. However, you don't need to go to the expense of buying a genuine irmscher grill.  Replica's are available on flea-bay for about 40 quid!  :y
