Grill surround..... Carbon or gloss black poll

Post by Macdaddy » Sun May 29, 2011 9:16 am

The RS is booked in for the end of the week but i'm still to make up my mind whether the grill surround is going to be wrapped in Carbon or gloss black.

What are your opinions?

Its only £70 for it wrapped so makes no sense buying the OEM audi grill, Plus if i dont like it then i'll peel it off! :bigblink:

Oh and this is my motivation:

On a black car definitely gloss black, on a dark car probably gloss black, but on a light or white car carbon.

Ta guys,

It's going gloss black then to match in with Audi's styling pack.
