do the coloured match grill, it will clean up the front end a lot more.

you have 4 colours on there, silver, chrome, blue light, and ford logo. take out the chrome and you can have killer exterior colour theme going.

I'm kinda in agreement there about painting the useless looking crome grille, I mean honestly, a Crome Grille has no point on a silver car.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

A chrome grille has no point or purpose on a Focus, period. That's a sweet little mod, man. Props for such a well-done job :D

Actually I like the chrome grill. It seperates the look of the car. Ford did it for a reason.

Meh, I dunno, I like the chrome grille on my beastie, taken with the new rims I think it sets off the red nicely myself....

Our cars are done up quite differently. I'd have to see your car again to properly appreciate the bling.

I know chrome would look disastrous on a 1st-gen Focus. Mine before the darkening mods, anyways.

But it's not Bentley'ish chrome, so it works. It looks more like polished stainless or something to that effect.

And as for the local rental fleet... if I could swap in the SVT grilles and tint the signals, I would.
