    Plastidipped my grille today :-)

    I've just finished washing it so ill get some clean pics on, think I'm going to have to do the fog grilles too as they're a slight grey colour now compared to the middle grille but ill see how I feel later. Still unsure on the rings, I like it but the mrs isn't sure lol
