2006 Stock Chrome Grill

[corn_flakes]

just wondering if anyone has painted their stock 2006 chrome grill to match the colour of their car?

if so, could you post a pic please?

i'm thinking about doing this, but want to see wat it looks like first...:D

i dont think the paint would stick to the chromed plastic... so unless the person sanded it back to base somehow.. i dont know if there would be anyone

here is another option that was posted a while ago by EuroDude using carbon fibre vinyl...

I painted the middle bar of my 06 grill before changing to a euroR grill.

It was a DIY and turned out pretty good. It gave the front end a different look as the 06 grill is slightly narrower than the 03-05 grill.

i plan on painting the chrome bit on my 03-05 grille to match my car as the hood trim is already colourcoded

Looks heaps better.Too much chrome on the 06-07 grille.03-05 grille looks better.

yeh, i've got the euro sport grille, but i like changing looks once in a while.

so just wanted to see what it looks like colour coded. eg. the new '06 mazda 6 grilles.

Mugen88, how much you got the euro R grills for?

What about mugen grill, it looks nice too.

Get someone to photochop it.

btw I vinyl'd my whole chrome grill to black (my euro is black) and it didnt look very good imo. It may suit other colored euro's though, i.e. the blue ones.

Here's a pic of mine:

I know someone who had an 04, he had the chrome surround of his grill sanded down and painted body-colour.

ahahah are you talking about my blue euro???

xD

looks fantastic.. but i didn't have that ugly 06 chrome grill :p

I think it would look tacky having it all the same colour unless it was black.

But i could be wrong ;)

I still have pics somewhere.. posted ages ago in an older thread...

Before I got my car, I really wasn't sure of the grille as I'm not a big chrome fan; I thought I'd probably go for a Sports grille or the Mugen (I like mesh).

After a couple of days with my 06, I really couldn't imagine the car without it. The grille and the chrome door trim complement one another, and I think that if you change the grille, then you highlight the doors (unless you change the door trim too -- hince the Sports/Euro R/Type S has black trim).

Personally, after I first saw a Sports in the metal, I thought the grille looked a bit plastic and cheap and not as good as it did in photos.
