Can someone photochop this pic with the chromed out centre.

I've really got to get some slimline plates to get rid of that big ugly one.

I think to get it to look perfect, the best way would be to get a thin piece of sheet and have it chromed then attach to the front bumper.

It would be interesting to see how chrome vinyl would turn out though.

Yeah B1tches! that's what I'm talking about!!!
Nice work btw Oz - u cream me in photoshop :-P

and that's definately the right way to go about it I reckon lazy - get a sheet chromed then attach it.

or just get some alfoil and 'vinyl wrap' the bumper with it aspired :-P

Nah - looks classy-tough, I like it ;-)

Nice photochop Ozie, thanks..

I think THIS will do the trick. Mirror Chrome or maybe Carbon3 Silver ....

Hey aspired, did u want to get some mirror chrome vinyl at all?

I'm thinking of getting a bit, but I only need a tiny bit - was thinking we might be able to go halves in a metre or something? I can order it/pick it up from a graphics shop around the corner from my work, PM me if ur interested (or if anyone else wants some hit me with a PM too) and I'll sort out how much to get - can get u an extra metre if u wanna make sure u've got enough to do it twice (which quite often ends up being the case :-P)

U gotta do that - I haven't seen it done yet and it's gonna look VERY tough I reckon :-)

Lol - so what's the go - vinyl per metre costs from $12 upward (not sure how much for chrome / pearlescents, could be the same, could be double, dunno yet...) Gimme ur number if ur wanting some and I'll give u a final figure and cos I wanna see this so bad I'll help u put it on sometime soon if u want a hand with it also ;-)

Do I have to be the 1 to say its crap and don't do it? Good photochop Oz, but chrome is crap.

Yes... I'd rather have steel wheels then chrome :)

And if you go ahead make sure you get some 20" silverware also.....

It's not all about your wheels man. :lol:

I think it looks hot on a black car. Not sure how it would go for other colours though.

REALLY?!?!?!

Gosh - no one here likes the chrysler 350c then 'ey?
It looks muscle-car-tastic I reckon! Compare the 2 pics, don't reckon the chrome completes the front end?

It's vinyl - beauty of that vs. paint is that u can literally rip it straight off if it looks shocking...

Each to their own - I'd give it a shot if I had an aspire!

I am all for experimentation, but I am just not too sure how chrome vinyl will look. An actually piece of chromed alloy or something maybe.

But at the end of the day, if the person driving the car is happy then it is all good :D

I am still contemplating my grille... it looks awesome in darker shots and in Das Bunker but not too sure about its looks in the daytime....

See what happens when I get the C-Lip on :)
