Grille

Guys I need your opinion on this...
I'm thinking to paint the front grille in black..I attach a picture of a green Mini Cooper I took out from Australian Mini website. My Mini is black in colour..I could not find any black Mini around so I use the green one
I photoshop-ed the picture...what do you guys think?
I'm also planning to paint the front..rear...skirt..and wheel arches as well

The MINI ONE for sale in Europe has a black grill as standard. You may be able to see it in my Avatar.

A black S will also have a black grill that you could use.

Is it a Cooper with a chrome grill at present?

painting the MINI skirting costs a lot and is really time consuming...so i've heard anyway coz they gotto strip them and sand them and prime them and then paint them....mights cost a lot, if not in paint, definately in labour....
black grill looks good

i got an exhaust because i wanted to make my car sound fast, but its not fast at all, so therefore i am a ricer....
