![]() Ok as i did not attend the September Nano meet
![]() This is a follow on with my plan to do all the chrome bits on the NUK in satin black, as the thread shows i have already done the door handles. So off with the bumper. ![]() ![]() Front bumper on the bench/seat & mask the grill off ready for spraying. ![]() ![]() Spray first coat of etch primer. ![]() ![]() Once the primer as dried the first coat of satin black goes on. ![]() After a few more coats the masking is ready to come off. ![]() All i have to do now is let it dry a little more while i have Sunday dinner ![]() ![]() Now that my Sunday dinner as settled, its time to refit the front bumper. ![]() Front bumper fitted with the new satin front grill. ![]() Grill with the original badge. ![]() Grill with the Viking black & silver badge. ![]() Decisions now have to be made as to which badge i go with, as the rear tail gate is a black & silver 75 ![]()

![]() Sorry Steve, I won't be doing that to my premium bumper......
I know things are subjective to the owners preferences, without which all cars would look the same, but I definitely prefer a touch of chrome which is why I have a connie, and not a contemporary. As long as you like it that's all that matters |

![]() I like the original badge Steve as the red sail picks up your bodywork colour nicely. Also, because the badge is standard, the satin black grille stands out all the more.

![]() HI David.
Is that a spare front grill you had or have, as quite a lot of plastic weld as to be removed to take the front grill out of a facelift car, that is why i did my grill in situ.

![]() Hi Steve. For once I have to admit, Black grill looks great. I am not a fan of black wheels but everyone to their own.The black grill looks like it wad made for the car.
