Rumblestrip Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Here is my Titanium when I bought it. I’ve since added black alloy wheels and want to wrap or paint the chrome window trims, the problem is the front grille, I’d like that black too. Now do I wrap/paint that and keep the titanium looks or buy a zetec style grille? I know it’s personal preference and I do prefer the zetec grille but that would lose the cars identity although I do have a titanium badge I’ve yet to fit. Whay do you guys reckon? What would you do?

Jethro_Tull Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 What do your insurers say? Their opinion is far more important than ours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The honeycomb grille does suit better imo.I wouldn't be able to stand my ST with a slat grille, it just wouldn't look right.Sent from my SM-G965F (S9+) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 This is going to sound rude no matter how I put it but it really isn't meant that way, please don't take offence. Why is it so important that you make sure people know it is a Titanium edition? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F0CUE Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Honeycomb defo looks better than the slats and an ecoboost emblem maybe? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblestrip Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 I’ve bit the bullet and ordered a honeycomb grille, it has a chrome outer ring on it but I reckon I could paint or plastidip that. The eco boost badge would be pointless as it isn’t an eco boost engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Oh thought it was lol oh well. Yeh either plastidip or more permanent plasticote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Plasticote or plastidip is probably the best way to go, nice and easy and quick too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatalk Yes it would fit yours. There’s a similar version with a chrome outer ring for £10 less. They pop out with a plastic trim tool (or kitchen knife if you’re careful) this video shows you how, it’s a bit long winded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
