I got bored earlier on today and i yanked off both front grilles and fog light covers and painted them white! I personally like it and so do my mates.
Being black the white on the grilles gives it a different look. i will post up some pictures when i can. Has anyone else got the paint can out on there bravos?

I added a alulist under the foglight cover to go with the rest ( mirror
covers + chrome kit).

This is interesting what you have done Pictures then

as promised, i know, its nearly been 1 year.
The bravo is now sold, these were the pictures from february this year at the fiat dealer, who later sold it for £8995. Beautiful car wasnt it (still is)

Sorry but you didn't do the car a favor by spraying those bits in white.

You can't please everyone

I'm not sure if I like it. I have the same car (except T-jet) and I can't see myself doing it to mine.
It would maybe look a lot nicer if there was some white on the back and sides.

ITS BEAUTIFUL!

Im just annoyed i didnt go the whole hog and do a white Audi styled front grille.

Anyway, it got snapped up after a week, so someone loved it.

I'm tempted to change my front grille to honeycomb style, but I'm not really sure how to go about it.

Pull them out. Its that simple, i did it and a few other members did aswell.

Theres a website that currently offer the honeycombe grill and fog covers, but including shipping costs they're very expensive! I can't remember the website link maybe someone could help on this?...

Another member custom made theirs by combining the grill outline with a Seat Altea 2005 lower grill, but decent DIY knowledge is needed here! :yuck:

But back to the looks of the white grill and fogs, the grill looks very nice - I think the fogs would have looked better if you had white rims

In relation to the painting, I think it's a case of too much time and friends who weren't honest enough =/.

Suppose it's a case of marmite - you either love it or loaf it.

Both grilles can be taken off easily, also the fog light covers.
Few photos of the job I found:





First took the old grille off with a Black&Decker and measured the new
Seat Altea grille in place. Several measurements, on & off fitments
were in order. After the final result, put them in place and used the
Sikaflex glue.

Yesterday I started to spray the whole package in shiny black
colour. Upper is allready done and looks very good.

I like it!

hi how do you remove the spot light covers

They just unclip. If you pull the pit in them towards the outside of the car... Gently lol. Don't snap the clips ^_^

cheers will have a go
