What exactly happened with the saxo?

Looks like you're very lucky to be alive!!

looks nicer now IMO

I'm not sure if i like it better now. Im going to paint the bit of bumper behind the grill black this weekend. think that will make a big difference.

and as for the saxo, had a head on with a vectra.

Sorry im a bit late to this thread but im sorry to see what happened to your Stilo, someone hit my Stilo in a car park (i know thats not the same) but they didnt leave any details, makes me so mad!

Need a badge on that, don't like the bit where the bonnet release is

Need a badge on that, don't like the bit where the bonnet release is

car looks good - but point as above. could you not remove the grill and paint the release black? then add a subtle badge (abarth?) back on.

yeh, i mentioned a few posts ago, not sure if you noticed, i'm going to paint that bit black. and im also having a look for a decent badge thats not to in your face.

Looking good!, Same grille as mine, Ever thought of having the oldschool fiat badge on the grille, like i did... subtle and looks standard....


When painting behine the grille try getting hold of matt black as the gloss paint still shows through..

Glad to see its on the mend!

 

[coyle]

thanks for the tip on the paint mate. i'll give it a go when it's dry

Finally finished. new grill on. bumper behind grill painted matt black. badge fitted to grill. i think it all looks great. Just waiting to lower it and have bump strips colour coded next month.
what you all think?

 

[Steely]

looking smart!

badge looks good to!

 

[coyle]

cheers mate, every cloud has a silver lining

 

[Big Black Stilo]

when i suggested doing that to the badge, i got poo pooed

 

[coyle]

i'm not to sure about that. i think the round badge looks slightly odd off centre. thats why i went for the one i did.

 

[JFL]

its looking nice with that badge, squarer badges go better at the sides then rounded ones

 

[coyle]

Agreed
