am doing some repairs on the body work now that it's finally stopped raining and i have the time.

got some rust to deal with on the strip just below the grill.

do i;

paint it black or red

imo black. looks good, would also do the VW badge too

they both look good.. i cant decide which one i like best. although, the black is different..

If you paint it black,the car will look narrower and taller. Having it body colour breaks up the horizontal lines and gives the front end a wider,lower look - not to mention stronger,as you loose the metal-bar,as its subconsciously interpreted.

thanks for the reply's guys. :-D

good point mikeymk,am gonna have to ponder on this.

any more care to share your 2 cents worth?

I was contemplating this doing this as the frint panel on mine is very, very rusty. Think i'm gonna stick with re-spraying it red.

red, black just looks like youve had a new panel and not bothered to paint it

thanks for your reply's guys. :-D
