2011 front grill resprayed all black

I thought I would upload a couple of pictures in case anyone was considering spraying their front grill, I feel the beige colour mKes the car look dated so I changed the lettering to black and sprayed the grill

I also have upgraded the lights as well and added the lower spoiler 2011 black FL2

Already did the black grill & the black lettering (but spaced it out a little more)
Also added the MY14 fog surrounds & grill outer chrome trim.
Agree, many of these mods do bring it up to date. Thumbs Up FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

I had a quick look at your pics, looks like you upgraded the grill to the 2013 model, how did you get one of those without a whole new bumper? How much did it cost?

that would have been easier than spraying the existing one!

I went gloss black lettering, hope you hated removing the glue as much as I did! 2011 black FL2

My grill is just the standard one that came with the car.

Sticky residue wan't too much of a problem - preheated the letters [lifts most of the sticky stuff off] then used meths to remove the residue.
But as I spaced the letters out a little more the ghosting of the old letters was a bit more difficult to remove [especially as the new black letters were added]. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.
