Need opinions on this, Im looking around for a few bits of underbonnet bling and have come across these, Now i like the front little chrome bits in bumper which i will be buying but what are peoples thoughts on these?

Im thinking they are maybe going a step too far!

 

go for it mate be different who gives a fuck what ppl think if u like it then do it

 

----------------

 

i thought you were selling up?

 

Chrome and the outside of 90s rally cars is not a good combination IMHO.

1960s mini, fair enough, but not an escort cosworth.

 

thansk guys this is what i was thinking, I do like the front bumper inserts though, You see them on a lot of escos though.

No lambchop mate, not selling up. Keeping and spending lol.

Already done wheels now trying to tidy bay.

 

+1

i've seen them on a couple of cars and i think it cheapens the look of the car. very tacky

 

I don't like those or the bumper inserts. I wouldn't say they were horrendous or anything, I just don't think they look right.

 

I think chrome should defo be kept to the engine bay, but then thats just me.


Cheers,

so thats everyone so far against the chrome.

Why do so many people have these inserts then i wonder?

 

Probably because THEY like them mate. If you want them get them, but I wouldn't fit them to mine.

 

i thought it was sold on ebay yesterday was you the highest bidder

 

oh yeah mate im gonna sell it for 8600 arnt i lol.

Do you realise how many ebay ads are dodgy, Part of the reason why ebay is universally hated lol.

 

I'm with the majority here about the chrome.

I initially liked the idea of those wing grilles but am now thinking to myself about how they would look on the car. Think i'd rather see them on a car before making my mind up... May be a quality mod as they are subtle and people would have to be looking properly to notice them.

 

I dont like them personally. Im not a fan of the chrome bumper inserts either. I think the carbon ones look good though as its more subtle and carbon has its place on the outside in my opinion.

 

I'm with everyone else i think those inserts on the front bumper are offensive... terribly tacky things that ruin the cars. I'd personally leave the wing vents standard too.

 

please dont fit them to the front bumper

 

I'd only think about it if the Cos was Auralis....with everyone else otherwise, no good.

 

im tending to agree now, I also would like the carbon but it just seems as soon as anything is carbon it becomes a fortune!

Ill have to have a look around i suppose.

Where does everyone get there carbon bits from

 

Agreed!

I don't like to see chrome/stainless under the bonnet, but can live with it.

CANNOT STAND to see it on the exterior of a car!

 

i like black, chrome and blue under bonnet, A nice percentage of all.

Thats what my car will be in the end.

Blue samcos chrome pots and crackle black rocker

 

I think they would look great in matt black with the cosworth letters painted in white (or red, or yellow depending on the colour of the car).
