[Guest Radders]

Hi guys, I'm thinking about painting the front grill red to match the rest of the red 'bits' have a look at this pic (car now) and let me know what you think https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9o48quUW78ucE9oY0dYc2hRamc/view?usp=docslist_api

It would balance out the exhaust and look good from others mirrors.

Do it matey.

Red powder coating would look good

[Guest Radders]

I've decided I'm going to do it. This afternoon I will prep the grill and spray it. Pictures to follow this evening......

[Guest Radders]

Grill painted...it looks beauty! I'm going to let it dry 100% before putting it back on. Pictures this evening.

[Guest Radders]

I have put it back together and I think it looks great. I really want the pictures to do the job justice so I'm not taking them in the garage. When there is a break in the weather tomorrow I'll take a nice pic and post it. Thanks for following this thread.

[Guest Radders]

So here it is....I hope you like it as much as me :-)

[Guest Radders]

The front indicators now look odd....I'm going to smoke them black with indicator lens paint :-)

[Guest jonnytdi]

Looks great, I hope mine looks that good some day! Jonny

[Guest Radders]

Thanks Jonny...I'm sure she will ;-)

[Guest Radders]

I've just been out to the man cave and sprayed the front indicators smoke black. I'll put them back on in the morning and take a pic....another to do list job crossed off ;-)

[Guest 2b cruising]

Should have been smoked racing green lol.

[Guest Radders]

Lol...I just thought the orange clashed with the red and green...I feel certain they'll be nice smoked. I did my mgf and they looked so much better.

Lots of Hoods have marginal cooling and looking at the mesh in your grill I would say going for a bigger mesh size may be needed. Use it as is for now but be aware if you start getting a bit hot try without the grill at first and if that sorts it use a bigger mesh.

I had a fine mesh type grill with my Dohc and it got a little too warm.

Changed it for some s/s diamond shape wire form eBay and painted black. 7 still polished stainless but thinking of going Kwaka green with that bit to suit the wings.

Easy done just use old grill as template or start from scratch for better accuracy. Leave 4 long wires where the sucuring screws were and use them to hold it in possition.
