I like both, but the black just edges it as it ties in better with the grille :happy2:

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like you took the grill off a black car in a salvage yard as you knackered yours.

Thanks for that coco,no i bought the (primed) grille off a guy from ebay who then sprayed it matt black for me.
By the way it was a right pain in the ass trying to separate both parts of the grille so i could then put the new part onto it!!!
