Three Speed Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Black please. Unless the silver is really shiny chrome-like which seems a bit unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrydicky Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Why not just get a tin of the correct shade red paint and respray it? DoctorRetro and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might look really bright and in your face, being as the rest of the car has faded for 30 years. Might be a a bit 'Rudolph' 🤨 I suppose it could be worth a try though, can always paint over it. Angrydicky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve already cut back the surrounding paint so it probably won’t be too far off. loserone and DoctorRetro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I think the alloys really suit it - and a black grille 😉 Crackers, DoctorRetro and rob88h 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangernomics Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 indépendamment of my own views on your mods this looks a nice bit of old chod. I thought black grille initially but actually thought BL silver looked slightly better. DoctorRetro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few ringleaders then their mates backing them up. If they were that good, there'd be loads of threads about all the great stuff they're doing. And there isn't. So fuck em again.

JMotor Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Colour of the grille.... Hmmmm... Daft question. But why not use both? Black outer bit, silver centre bar perhaps? Or red again with either silver or black centre bar? DoctorRetro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Jetter Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Or a rotating grille, like Bond's DB5 rear plate? Monday silver, Tuesday red, etc. DoctorRetro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another forum, a bit like this one, but with all the degenerate scum who like to tear down fellow humans and who weren't allowed to carry on their Vile Hatred™️ on this forum. There's many there that spat their dummy and left, and a lot with a foot in both camps. They like to report back on what happens here and systematically rip to shreds anyone who shows any weakness or eccentricity that doesn't quite match their own. They spent a lot of time slagging off the mod team, as well as Dollywobbler. Then they turned on some other forum members, such as myself, Lightbulbfun, HeidelKakao, YesOuiSi, among others. If you enjoy being a bit of a tw@, with no moderation, and are thick skinned, by all means join. Otherwise, listen to Obi wan. I'm well aware they're watching this thread for more ammo to take the piss of, hope this is juicy enough to keep the trolls happy 😂😜 bunglebus, Heidel_Kakao and The Mighty Quinn 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 ToMM© was 'resale [dark]silver' but my mate, in Ireland, got me an unmolested grille <in red!> and I gave it 3coats of Lidl Baufix quick dry grey [see my tredd..]. Looked well nice! Get the lard lashed under there, m8 DoctorRetro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorRetro Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Did the grille... Cleaned and degreased - in the shower of course - SSH, don't tell Claire. Once it was cleaned, the extent of the fading could be seen. Badge masked and resprayed Spurious, Dannyk, outlaw118 and 22 others 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 That grille looks way better - nice choice. Reminds me of a bigger version of the P70 Starlet a friend from school used to drive. tooSavvy and DoctorRetro 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
