    So I currently have an S-line bumper and Grille at the body shop.

    My car is Brilliant Red in color what colors combo do you think i should go with on the front:

    Glossy Black Grille surround - Matte Black inner Grille - Glossy Black Filler plate - Matte Black Fog inserts - Glossy Black Cupra R lip

    Glossy Black Grille surround - Glossy Black inner Grille - Glossy Black Filler plate - Matte Black Fog inserts - Glossy Black Cupra R lip

    Glossy Black Grille surround - Glossy Black inner Grille- Glossy Black Filler plate - Glossy Black Fog inserts - Glossy Black Cupra R lip

    or a different combo completely ?

    I also will be getting my Relak side skirts and s-line rear valance painted Glossy black

    What you guys think will look best?! :-D

    I would definitely go with the first set up you have listed. Maybe even leave the filler plate matte black, too much gloss gets a little weird lookin in the grille. I have a quartz gray with gloss grille trim, matte black grille and filler, matte fogs, and glossy Cupra lip and glossy relaks. Looks pretty tight imo, and the guy I bought the lip and skirts off had a similar looking setup to what I have now, but with a brilliant red car and it looked even better with his color than with mine haha. Im waiting to do the valance on mine till I get some quad tips though

    Honestly I would get everything painted gloss. If you don't like it, Plasti Dipit matte black. A gloss professional paint job will always look better than a matte one, but you can get a decent matte black look with dip. And if you have more stuff you want to make gloss black, try this Auto Dip in Gloss Black

    My cupra lip, grille surround and rear valance are all sprayed with AutoDip.

    There product is good but nowhere need as good as a pro paint .

    Also autodip doesn't last as long as plastidip, tried both
