I've just fitted my sp bonnet grill, over the weekend I'm getting my sp arches,fuel cap and the lions that go on the alloys sprayed, I'm doing the little lions red, the fuel cap anthracite with red bolts and obviously just colour coding the arches, below is a quick mock up of what I'm thinking of doing to the bonnet grill, do you think it looks better original or in red, thanks for looking

The less attention those ugly things get the better imo.

Each to their own Callum I think they look a 1000 times better than the standard black plastic

If you have other naughty red touches then I reckon it will look good. If you, for example, gave your lower grill a red lip to match this could work.

I was thinking about that but the car has a sp grill and the edging of it is rubber so can't really spray it

Black..
Everyone puts red with black.
Try that nice fiesta purple (I think) that was recommended for your wheels.

I did mention in a previous topic that he should do something different. Drop the red! Been done too much!

Yes they look better than standard but no need to paint them red ! I was talking about the vents in general not the specific ones you have on your car !

I'd be painting them red to match the colour scheme I'm going for

Sounds like you had already made up your mind that you were going on the black and red theme, so why bother asking peoples opinions, and creating the thread in the first place.
I know it is titled Quick colour poll but 1 hour 39 minutes is very quick to consider other peoples opinions.
For what it's worth, even though it's a waste of energy and using the extra energy to type is just destroying more of the ozone layer due to the extra CO2 that I am generating, I'd go for fluorescent green or yellow accents. It would make the car different and a bit more unique.
