Hi guys, fitted this today, I'm not so sure it works on TDF
Not very good pictures as it was getting dark but thoughts please ?

A wrapped original or a carbon copy

A personal thing but I don't like the standard colour coded grills and much prefer the challenge ones. But saying that they do look better when contrasting, so particularly on the light colours.

Downside of that one is you cannot see the exhaust through it but it looks OK to me.........M

Dipped by this fella

Not really to my taste and there's no cooling benefit.

Agreed.. And it's fake carbon which I'm not a fan of on any car, especially an F car

Not a fan of the plate font either

I wanted to break up the mass of blue at the back, challenge grill would be my choice and they look great on the lighter coloured cars, I picked up a used rear panel for £50 on eBay which I was going to paint Matt black and then decided on this.

You would not know it wasn't the real deal if I hadn't told you.

Plate was just to cover the real plate for the photo.

I think it looks fine, Mike

[davidexige]

Yep, looks fine to me as well.

I don't dislike the grille at all, but the plate font...

In my opinion I looks nicer then stock, but I would prefer a challenge grill

As I said the plate was just to cover my real plate currently on the car.

Funny enough I had those plates and some others made up as a bit of a knee jerk reaction about 10 or more years ago when they brought out the legislation regarding font and all that nonsense, I was worried I could not get a short plate made again and the company kind of messed up the font.

Back on subject, the second photo shows the contrast in colour best, will get a decent photo if the sun ever comes out again :-)

Yep, the grille looks good to me. Dipping has come a long way in a short time; it almost looks like 1x1 Carbon.

Slightly better picture but looks better in real life

[Davo456gt]

don't think its stand out as much because of the dark colour of the car - would probably pop more on a yellow car.

Its a nice idea, and works fine for me, as long as you don't need the extra cooling of the challenge grill.

Is the rear under tray done in the same finish ?

I'd be tempted to continue it, personally.

[TISPKJ]

No sadly on the 360 it's all one piece with the bumper, the 430 splits from the bumper.
I am told it could be done but would need a lot of masking and a huge tank to do so, and I'm not sure I want to take the risk at the moment, I may reconsider when/if I get the rear bumper painted.
