First vote for black from me.

[Cookiesouwest]

I vote for black grill

[Isopon]

+1 for black

[Three Speed]

Black please.

Unless the silver is really shiny chrome-like which seems a bit unlikely.

Why not just get a tin of the correct shade red paint and respray it?

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.

I reckon it’s worth a try. You’ve already cut back the surrounding paint so it probably won’t be too far off.

I think silver although black looks great too

[DoctorRetro]

All clean.

Tempted to go back to the steels and balloon tyres at some point, just need to keep my eyes open for the missing wheel trim...

[bunglebus]

I think the alloys really suit it - and a black grille 😉

[bangernomics]

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.

Fuck em

There's a playground bully mentality developing on here. 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.

Oh and black please 😁

[JMotor]

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?

Christ, I don't know how hard it is to just not be a dick. It's a fairly low bar in life really, it's not like it's asking a lot. 

 

[High Jetter]

Or a rotating grille, like Bond's DB5 rear plate? Monday silver, Tuesday red, etc.

The Dark Wob.

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 😂😜

[tooSavvy]

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

I'm not on Facebook, but sounds like it could be as popular in the future. I mean Facebook has strict moderation and Katie Hopkins and Donny Trump need an outlet.

Katie would be trolled for a double chin* & someone would be trying to shoot Donnies syrup...

[DoctorRetro]

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

 

 

[DoctorRetro]

This pic didn't fit in the last post....

 

[Spurious]

Sharp. 

Some pressed steel plates with right pre-01 font would be perfect and set it off nicely. 

[Dan302]

The black grill looks really smart

[bunglebus]

Yay black. Looks correct to me

Sod that, get some green plates on there to wind up the virtue signalling lot

[loserone]

I look at that and wonder if it has a Chevy Volt conversion in it @Kiltox

Yes officer of course it’s electric 

[Datsuncog]

That grille looks way better - nice choice.

Reminds me of a bigger version of the P70 Starlet a friend from school used to drive.
