    Chaps,

    Nice comparisson shots of Lava S line's with or with Chrome Grill pack.

    Parked up beside this Avant at the weekend and took these.

    Pic's don't really do the chrome justice. In the flesh it makes one 'ell of a difference.

    Note......it was a quat, mine has S line badge on the front.

    Oh and apologies for state of mine.....its normally sparkling at the weekends.

    I'm a big fan of the chrome, i've done it to my car and I think it looks great. Its a nice cheap mod too if you use the chrome strip from Halfords or similar.

    Hi,

    Yes if you want to spend £74.99.

    If not, ********* its under a tenner for a 3.5mm wide real of chrome strip.

    The "Bling" grill (aka Scotty method) looks great on dark colours - wasn't sure at first but really like it now. The standard grille is sparse in comparison.

    Have to say, "The Cheepo Chrome Treatment" looks superb. Was a bit sceptical at first (was thinking about "Rover" look A La 90s, dark green with chrome on every´conceivable exterior trim piece with added Horshoe and enamel AA Badge).

    It is really SO!! cheap that as other members have said "What have you got to loose?".

    On a quartz grey car, it gives that extra touch, and I will be leaving it on till the jet washer overcomes its adhesive properties.

    Scotty.
