    The only color (IMO) that looks good with a color matched grill is CW. So, if you're asking because you own a CW...DO IT!!

    CW grill is 3-4 pics down....

    IMO.......black grill on CW looks great tho!! DBP is the only color that can pull off the color matched grill....looks good Cupboards.

    Um. The only thing that separates us from rabbits. Oh, I thought it would be the headlights, bumpers, side skirts, brakes, wheels, exhaust, engine, AWD and oh wait, cause its MY car.

    Wow I never thought it would look that good. This is definitely something that I will do if I ever damage the front end (that way it won't cost me anything). I wanted to put white wheels on my DBP but didn't think it would look quite right with the metal looking grill surround.

    ^^ DJ, if that's your car, you probably should move your plate elsewhere. You're blocking ~60% of the airflow to your radiator.
    I have installed most of the popular bolt-on mods for a 2008 R32, minus suspension work. I know a lot about electronics and car audio, and have experience with VCDS ("vagcom"). I'm a radar/lidar countermeasure enthusiast. I like track days, autocross, and US Highway 129. I love aural pleasure.

    If I get the wheels I want I'm getting a second grill to color match to the car. Color matching does give the car the "rabbit" look.

    Dude, why does your signature keep going on to the right into the message area?

    On topic: This looks great on CW. Not so much on DBP, or TR, and everyone knows UG needs a black grille.

    Go for it Eddie, I wouldn't dare do it to my DBP though. Soon we're going to be dead even on mods. I should have the .:R at NGP in a month or so.

    Probably refuses to use a space in it because he's out of characters. Firefox seems to need a space to do the word wrap function. IE doesn't. Just from my observations.
