156 cosmetic front mod

Recommended Posts

For me the 156 front grille has always been a little too bling.

 

So I've matt blacked the chrome on the grille but added some chrome strips instead. Put some tint over the louvres to darken them a bit and flyeyed the headlights and fitted tinted fogs.

 

Won't be to everyones taste but I like it :D

Its crying out for colour coded bumpstrips and matt black alloys tbh.

 

And lowering.

Going to rattle can the alloys next then maybe the bump strips.

 

Would like to lower it but not sure if I want to spend the money. really should sort out the front wishbones and cracked windscreen first. And it could do with new tyres at least on the front :|

Yeah just remove your number plate and the plate holders are usually just fastened to bumper with screws.

Then screw plate to bumper simple.Always thought plate holders looked shite

I removed the number plate on this car by rolling into the back of a lotus evora :$. (couple of days after i got it & the handbrake wasn't adjusted properly so didn't work when i pulled it up)

I did not know that.

 

They seem quite popular on MX-5s.

 

I'm guessing it's to do with reflective properties?
