Unfortunately the missus doesn't like it. "Where's the chrome? This is the bit that I like."Originally Posted by team_v
Though personally I like the look as before there was too much chrome in the one place - and nothing else on the car anywhere
I think it looks a bit more aggressive and a little less fussy.

Just for completeness I'll post this here too.
Since the bird flew through my lower grille I've had a couple of goes at the front grille.
First attempt I pulled off my front bumper and ran wire mesh through the upper and lower grille to stop any insects making a mess of the intercooler and a/c condenser.
I left the broken lower grille in and just ran the wire mesh over the top of the busted section. Worked OK but you could still see the broken part if you looked closely.
So I decided to install some aluminium mesh into my grille instead of the "old" fly screen. Hopefully this will provide better air flow and still keep out the larger bugs.
Added some plasti-dip and re-installed to give the final result:

Tig is booked into the beauty salon today. Dropped off this morning at Elite Finish for a full treatment on the exterior and will pick up later this afternoon.
Just hoping I can dodge the weather and have it looking it's best for tomorrow.

Heading to Day of the VW in Adelaide today. At least there will be one Tig on show this year
Hopefully there's one or 2 other "off-roaders" to park with.

Eh, I seem to be the only Tig in WA that goes to the WA outings, everyone seems to be welcoming, I'm sure you'll get a similar reception.Heading to Day of the VW in Adelaide today. At least there will be one Tig on show this year

Some don't even know that the Tig shares a lot of hardware with their Golfs and are quite surprised when you tell them.
