I'm having a Turbo nose put on my 02 C4 Cab. I had the idea of having the grille painted as well. Would like your opinion....and it's ok to be pithy.

 

Here's a much cleaner look thanks to my friend Steven.

 

I think painting the grills would be better-better contrast unless you'll like cleaner looking lines which in silver maybe a way to go but I prefer to have some contrast. Regards. Mike

 

Don,

I say go with the front but not the painting. But, the narrow body cab is perfect with the top down from apperance in all angle. So, with such a big front. It might throw off the balance of your car.

Good Luck and waiting for your pics if you are to make the conversion.

I think it looks great! However, I imagine it will get chipped quickly from pebbles, etc.

 

i think the turbo nose looks odd in a narrow body - besides your current nose looks great! keep it!

Hate the painted grills, love the turbo nose on the narrow body cab..

 

Better make an appointment to cover it in plastic (Stongard, etc). That's a large expanse for inevitable stone missles.

Fugly.I vote for leaving it as Porsche designed it.It reminds me of a woman with huge fake knockers. Pithy enough ? Perry

 

Sorry to say this Don, but it's a little too busy in the front for my taste. In my opinion, the cab has a certain elagance to it and that front dam seems too aggressive especially when the top is down. Just my 2 cents. Let us all know what you end up doing and pics are a must!

 

Let me add to my post that while I think it looks good, you current 'nose' looks fine. I thing the bang for the buck ratio is very low....IMHO.I.e., I think the photos above look great but I would not spend my money on that considering the C2 looks great as it is.

 

Sounds good, just don't paint the grille.
