AsianML Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Black grille Looks nice! Definitely "cleaner" now that you painted it. What's with the reflection on the hood though? Nice driveway too!! I would kill to have a stoned/brick driveway but it wouldn't match the rest of the neighborhood, and we would never hear the end of it from the neighbors. Funny too because a few blocks away a couple of people have them. | ||

420 SE Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Black grille ^^^^^ Not sure what you mean 'what's with the reflection', they are trees and bamboo. The driveway is giant concrete pads, broken up with stones in between. The angle of the driveway is such that without them (the breaks) in the wet you would just slip/spin the wheels (without T/C), the breaks are sufficient to afford grip and allow traction. Works really well and yes we get a lot of comments about it. Edited by 420 SE 8/12/2006 8:52 PM | ||

420 SE Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Black grille ^^^^^ If you could see it up close!!!!! It actually has a lot of acid rain staining from Hong Kong on it. It could be shinier, yes it has been clayed. One day I will have the car resprayed but a decent job is around $10k over here. When my uni fees stop costing $8k per semester and I am earning some money again, it will happen. | ||

(It's not all junky in the inside like other chicks' cars, is it?... ) Absolutely not! Having trash and spare clothes, etc. in the car gets on my nerves. And, I wash (or have it washed ) every week. I'm quite particular about this car 'cause I love it so much. | ||

I actually had those pics developed on a pic CD thinking the resolution would be better than scanning them in. Just as crappy. | ||
