Nice job Dave!
You stuck your bullbar back on Narpy? Or just reverted back to your old avatar?

I quite like Landmark Grilles where they are colour coded to the rest of the front, i think it will look OK Gold ?
Worth a try ?
I'm like a lot of others and watching this with interest and if i do mine i think i will colour code it green ?
So far its looking good

Dave,
If you nip down to Kilbirnie St, joins West St to Gils, they should be able to match you up your Gold in a spray can. Just a matter of then masking around the dark p[arts and hitting them with some colour, if your not happy with the finish of the bare plastic, exposed parts.ATB

Finally had a decent day when I had nothing else to do so did a bit more to my grill. I now have the edges pretty much where they need to be and it is now glued in. The cut edges will need a paint if I decide to keep it, just not totally sure at the moment, will live with it for a while and then decide. It does look good from a distance, something different, its just up close. Honest opinions before I shell out for some painting????????

Morning Dave,
Looks good but and its not criticism, are the mesh veins inset "straight"? Hard to tell but it look slightly high on the left but that might be the camera angle!
Still not got round to doing mine, everytime i look at the grilles they end up back in the shed

I think so, I use a fixed point on the grill and insert, beside the bottom clips, of course I will check Joined the BMWX5 45e group
