Hi Guys,

Just wanted some advice, I am thinking on removing the front grille, wrapping it with carbon wrap and then painting the griffin white same colour as the car. I have tried to look on Google Images to see if theres anything like it but i cant find any. What do people think? will it look ok ?

I'd wrap it in situ as you need to remove the whole.bumper otherwise... sounds interesting and I've seen a white Griffin badge on a black grill somewhere before I'm sure.

Yeah I have seen them without the badge. I want to keep the badge but I cannot make my mind up whether to have it white, black or leave it chrome. I will be doing it over the next couple of weeks so I will post come picks up.

Also @J1ODYA - you would say it is easier to wrap it without taking the bumper off?

I will have to have a look at then, I thought it would be easier taking bumper off. If I can get away with leaving it on then that would be better.

What you think ? I wrapped it without removing the grill itself.
