    Black grille on the T5 picy.

    Just been outside to put the black grille on. Only took 5 minutes but me hands are frozen. Football now, and I think the gloves may be coming out!

    Thoughts on the grille please?

    As it's probably too late for chrome (Or you didn't get the chrome one) maybe body colour the outside edge instead.

    I think it needs a little something on it, just to full the void. I did this to my last two:

    I've a few jobs planned for the D5, but refurbing the Titans has to take priority. Then the tints, and possibly follow your thread on the p2 grille.

    It's a used one and it came without the chrome. So I think your idea of the body colour around the edge has to be the one to go with thanks.

    Just had a look on eBay, and the only chrome T5 badge is £24.50. Does anyone have a spare one that they would sell for less than that please?

    I like the way that they send a few sweets with every order, even a few door seal clips that I bought the other week! The kids usually whip the sweets, but it's a nice touch.
