Hey guys,

Then Hey Presto!

Yeah they don't seem very heavy duty, only cost a couple of bucks though.
You can also just scrape the black paint off the vertical fins which looks pretty good.

I have been through 3 packs of this stuff, then I bought the 160 grill but it does need mods to fit. _________________Aristo 454hp @ 22psi / C20 350 chev pickup / AE92 corolla

on the 160 the grille is all chrome then they painted the centre section black. so you can use paint remover or whatever to strip the black off carefully to expose the chromed plastic beneath.
i am tempted to try it on mine haha but im not sure if it is the same on 147s
