well ima try colour codin n see what there like cuz I'm quite a klutz LOL but if they look bad ima take em off:)

I think a colour coded grille would look awful personally..

Your car is Satin Silver by the way, don't go spraying stuff Reflex Silver will you!

Should say LB7Z on the boot sticker/service book.

it will be so much effort to tape everything up you might aswell just take them off... it will be so much easier... and it will look better.. if you really cant do it get some one to help you, its not a hard thing to do really.

my grills color coded so is the badge looks the shiz

Naa imo the grill looks shit cc

Some 1 on here did it they had a white 6n and sparyed the grill white and imo it looked wank

mines perlesent black looks the shiz , dont think will work on any other color

Let's have a look vee dub! I think you need to balance the colour codedness with black plastic so there's not too much of either!

Look at the front cover of the haynes manual for the 6n. It is colour coded red. Looks aweful I think.
