Got a grille from Gemany for the Bora... new type with the chrome inserts, and it came black, so i thought id stick it on as ive always fancied a black grille on her for a change... From some angles, it looks absolutely stinning ( especially whe the sun hits the chrome ) but ijust dont think it suits the rest of the car... Im off work this week so i think i'll leave it into my trusted painter and get it colour coded, so the chrome is more subtle.... What do you think guys????? Edited by: SiVWW
I'll take a better piccie later, used my stupid camera phone for those ones.... Here is the grill.... Its off the 2004 model Bora with chrome on the lip of each slat like the new Passats....
sorry to butt in, but what camera fone is that please? (just trying to get an idea of picture qualities)
Its a Nokia 7250.... Very poor quality me thinks, but then again, ive never seen a good picture from any model of Nokia phone yet....
I have the SE T610 and its just as pants. Camera phones just arent up to much yet I dont think. As for the grille, I think matt black / chrome badge works better with silver? That would probably look nice on mine though! Edited by: Mikedav
Not sure to be honest, it's a bit hard to tell from the pics. It might have worked if it was a de-badged grille. If you get the grille colour coded it would be more subtle that's for sure.
I think VAG are making those VW badges too large, really does make the grille's and the rears of the cars look naf. Could be that the large van like VW badge is making the grille look crap from certain angles. I hate the size of the badges! Shrink them by 30% and they make look better.
i personally think it needs the badge otherwise someone might think its a jap car! Bora's are true steatlh vehicles!!!
