E92 Black Grills
My black grills were delivered today.
The US postal service was great,I could log in at anytime and see the progress,seriously impressed with it. Even got e-mail updates: -----Original Message----- From: U.S._Postal_Service_ [mailto:U.S._Postal_Service@usps.com] Sent: 19 November 2007 09:15 To:Bellend@nobjockey.com Subject: USPS Shipment Info for EV99 5670 453U S This is a post-only message.

Anyway,I thought I'd ask opinions before I fit them,so here goes: 1. Leave as is 2. Spray Black Sapphire to match car 3. Just spray with a lacquer to give a gloss finish 4, Any of the above and buy a new settee! |

Hotcoupe - IMHO if you want them to stand out, they must contrast with the surrounding colour of the car ie. lacquer for a gloss finish? If however you wish for them to blend in, then spray them to match the colour of the car.
Any other interior design tips, then my fees can be discussed. |

Hi Hotcoupe
I am waitin for my grilles to arrive also - I have gone for matt black as well Best thing is to fit them and see what they look like - if they look cool leave em alone and if not you can always pop em back out and spray them (prob a warm spring job tho!!) Let me know how you get on fitting em - do the others pop out or is there screws involved?? (not looked yet!) cheers, paul PS: How come this is OT?? |

I'm not big fan of matt black, liked glossy ones Ollih has. I would say anything other than Matt.
And the obligatory new sofa comment
