I like it!
My Leos (on the 343) need a refurb, and I'm torn between white (as on the R-Sports) and the current black centre with silver dish. I was going to paint them white last year, but never got around to it. I'm thinking of doing it now...
cheers

James, If your toying with going black and silver lip and dont have any bad curb marks then have ago using nitromors, When i used it on mine it took it right back to the bare metal with (minimal effort) which looked prime for polishing which i think would look awesome with a black center.

Well bit of a small update really, just been experimenting a bit with the car, nothing serious.
Firstly i finally got a horn push for my wheel, so no more air horn in passenger foot well
Also sprayed the bonnet black because it had gone pinky/white in places, not to sure on it really may do it again in satin black
Oh and had a fiddle with the grill, wanna get a mk2 grill as i think they look really good, if they fit mk3's
Cheers Dan

they "fit" but look like shit on a mark 3. the lineplay of the front just doesn't work with a mk2 grille on.. and the front of the grille "overlaps" the front bumper..

Cheers for the advice, i guess ill keep the standard grill or try to "pimp" it a bit better

. Just need to get the wheels sorted now.

the problem is the heigt of the grille. funny thing is, that a mk3 grille on a mk2 car fits aswell and doesn't look bad at all..
nice progress by the way, like the black bonnet makes the car badass (that's why i painted mine black too

)
