ArosaPD Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I had an unfortunate accident several months ago when I collided with a steriod taking badger!! I have recently taken some photos, and would like some opinions on the air intakes (i.e Black or Chrome). I have made some additional changes this time when smoothing.Before hitting Mr. Badger. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />After hitting Mr. Badger. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />After re-smoothing (Bloody De Jar Voux!). But this time I have taken all join lines between upper and lower out and smoothed trim lines. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />Mark style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max69vk Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Definately black!

Silver! Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Like said above, your front end is smooth so black would be more subtle.If you only had one with no fogs I would say polished though.Still lovin' the smoothness.S! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penry Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 That has made my mind up, i'm defo going to paint the bits in between the lower grilles. Sleeky has a silver arosa too and he hasn't painted them - looks cool but i think i'd prefer the more agressive look like yours. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> For me black intakes all the way, the polished ones do stand out a bit lol.

I'm looking at doing something with my bumpers but was going to plastic weld but that stuff looks bl**dy good!Cheers guys, and thanks for the comments. Max I used u-pol super six??, it's a flexible filler designed specially for bumper repairs, etc. To take the blend line out I have filled higher and lower than is in the photo. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Edited June 28, 2006 by ArosaPD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
