Nice work. It is possible to get good results from spray cans on smaller bits if you take your time. Trust me clear indicators relly pay off on Silver.

with r45 headlights it will be fecking gorgeous! Silver and TB are my Fav colours, why the hell did I get a Tahiti lol

Did you paint the bottom mesh mate? It looks quite dark like the top mesh of the MK2 grill. Im thinking of painting my mesh to match

I have to do likewise. Black mesh up top silver mesh at the bottom. Doesn't look right at all.
