My 6n is pearl black, however I just changed to a smoothed 16v bumper and I bought the new grills and fog lights. My question now is which colour should I spray the grills:

1) Keep standard
2) Spray them pearl black
3) Spray them pearl white.

If I go for no. 3 I will refurb the alloys in that colour too.

Also what about getting the fogs tinted black as I got tinted black 6n2 tail lights, I'm really 50/50 on the idea for the fogs.

i would say keep it standard m8 ... as soon as you start painting grills i think it can start to look cheap, and then tint the fogs too so it hides them a lil for a cleaner look ... personally i think it will look mint after that

Keep it standard, that's what I would of done, although it's enitirely your choice

Keep it standard!

Slightly off topic, but where did you get the grilles from and how much, as im after some. Cheers mate.

eBay, bought the fogs with grills for £50 (shop of eBay, think they came from Bulgaria), badgeless grill from eBay £20 (again a shop), made the PCB and 6way fuse box + switches for £10 in case I want to link more stuff. Center grill I still have not got but there is a cheap one on eBay for £20 for the classic I think (looks the right size and shape), but I need to check whether it fits the 16v, if not only other place is VW spares and I heard its pricey from VW, around £40+ but can't quote you an exact figure

I keep checking ebay, but cant seem 2 find any. i know volkswagen are expensive, thats why ive not bothered with them. Cheers mate, ill keep my eyes peeled!

Check eBay shops, not just the listings. Find a seller that sells a fair amount of kit, then search through their shops in the sublinks.
