    I assume you don't like the headlights? And.....yes I have a standard grille. But with all due respect..Its my car and I like it they way it is. (knowing me I'll get bored and put the grille back on for a while) lol.

    that looks stealthy all in black.i have those light too. have you put hid's in them yet? makes such a difference with the silver indicator fitted as well. not sure about the chrome grill tho might be better in black but then it might be too plain with every thing black.

    yes mate. hid's are in them. I didn't really want the car to look very black. bit of chrome here and there. Happy with the look as it is now other than the eyebrows are not on. They are painted just need the weather to dry out a little so the adhesive will set in a fair time.

    Thanks martin, to be honest when i got them I thought 'hmmmmm will they look good?!', put them on as a trial fit and thought they look great! Very happy with them.
    As for the ebay thing, thanks very much but no, didn't go for it. sorted it locally. Thanks anyway.

    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....
