Black Grill & LCR Splitter

[Trick]

Finally got round to spraying my grill and fitting the splitter,
so was a good excuse to go out and work on a new photo.

Looking good there pal, what primer did you use on the grill as i have some metal primer lying around and wanted to use that?

good job matey....although one quick one, you seem to have done what i did and fitted the spplitter too far forward, i take it back a few mill persoanlly as once i did mine the results were much improved.

I had some halfords primer left over from another project. If you give teh surface a good keying you cant really go wrong.

I love it just where it is, but if anything I think it would be better more forward! I didnt spend money and time to hide it under the bumper! lol

no fair comment and i thought exactly the same, but when you look at my before and after photos....the difference is immense...... you can see the fitting lip on yours, mine was slightly further forward originally so you could see more.... some have them further back than mine is now.....either way it looks good but not as close to OEM as it could be....

Looking very good! I've just sprayed my grill surround as well

Picked up a LCR splitter too, just trying to find the time, and a ramp to do it!

Wow what a compliment! Not sure im quite at that level yet but thanks!

It was done using a rig thats attached to the car so that car and camera move simultaneously thus blurring the background. Oh and lots and lots and lots of photoshop lol

Where is/was the rig mounted? :S

As you can tell from the bad photoshop job (which was a nightmare cos i was trying to rescue an over exposed shot) it was on the bonnet.

I saw a pic the other day. Wasnt a fan.

Looks good and A* photography!

Great photography...

Colour on the S3 looks great in the shot, not a fan of the LCR splitter but it looks good on your car with the coding etc
