GTI Style Grill Anyone?

[oneohone]

What do you guys think of a grill similar to a GTI one? (Black with red outline)

(Please don't mind the car, it hasn't moved in a month, it should be going to the paint shop in a week.)

Old:

New:





BTW it's not going on this car, its going on the S4. And yes, the grill is not fully placed in position.

I think it would look better if it was an RS4 grill with the red surround.

Def different. Can't wait to see it on the car.

[oneohone]

Yeah, I don't know what gave me the idea. It looks so much better in person. I also painted the grill a gloss black so it would match the S4 bumper. (I'm painting the mesh on the S4 bumper brilliant black aswell like the side grills in the pictures.)

What if the vertical columns were red instead? It seems like the surround is too thick

I don't know, I'll give it a try in photoshop soon.

I think it depends on what color you go with and if there are other red accents in other places. It will either stand out and look silly or really pull things together.

Yeah the brakes on my S4 are painted red aswell. The S4 badge is also red

Different, but not bad Although the red on the gti is a tribute to the OG Gti. But your car can be a tribute also

[oneohone]

^Hmm, never knew that lol. Thanks!

[Sinister]

I think the RS4 grille would look better, but as is it doesn't look bad.

Complete with new S4 badge:

On a black car, I think its gonna look pretty nice.

[jm121189]

On a black car with red brakes I think it would look nice, I say go for it.

[oneohone]

^Now all I need is some BBS LM's with the red centercap.


Edit: I also forgot, the engine accents are red aswell:

[AudiTurbo]

I think it kick ass cause its different and not seen on our cars

[beAu4]

i like it alot

[Siena]

Will look good once fitted.

[oldblu]

I'm gonna try this. I have some extra paint. Your idea, I'll give you credit lol Will be slightly different though

[biketsai]

Billy, if you REALLLY want, you can come and put it on my car for a couple of pics haha.

[B5A4Kevin]

i think it looks good. my car is brilliant black and i have been considering a red accent theme: red calipers, red fmic hoses, red tip, and i was originally thinking of red rings. i may decide to do this instead as it looks really clean. i would be interested to see the PS of the vertical or horizontal bars painted.

[slopoke]

I am doing a hot pink accent theme to mine... Hot pink fog lights, intake manifold, maybe brakes...

Lets do it tomorrow lol!

It will be nice if you do the same thing to the lower grills.

[Siena]

I think the vertical slats in red are too much.

[oldblu]

At first, I didn't realize you had already painted your surround so when I suggested the red vertical bars, I meant that would be the only red in the grill.

[Naudi_Mat]

I like the idea. It will definitely stand out and be different.

[B5A4Kevin]

At first, I didn't realize you had already painted your surround so when I suggested the red vertical bars, I meant that would be the only red in the grill.

this is what i was thinking about as well. have either the vertical or horizontal bars red, and the rings and surround be chrome or polished or blacked. something like that.

Maby with that baby all painted up it will look ok. Better make sure you have all of those body lines straight before you go to the paint booth.

Not going on this car. Its going on my black S4.

[audiFUEGO]

I dont wanna be the only pooper but i think you should scratch the entire idea..

[oneohone]

Just got back from Chris's house Here is the grill on his car.

[oldblu]

sweet. I like it

[2001A6]

I really like it! There is a B6 on AF with it, looks good too. Its different, but I see it alot more recently. My friend did it on his 07 WRX, looks good on it too.

[lowandslow4now]

I think it came out good. It goes well with the black

[A4orce84]
