the cutout grill i had, wasnt perfect so i took it out, the one in there now is just a standard one, but with a body coloured outer edge and matt black inside.
i spent all day sanding, priming and painting the cutout grill, just to come outside to find that my nephew "washed it" for me. the water got into the paint and made a mess of everything, i had a minor moment and cracked the shits, and threw it against the wall. so its no more.
and yes,the car took alot of washing when i got home. i was bogged at 6:30am and didnt get to wash it until about 3:30pm so the mud was baked on a bit by the time i got to it
it took a rinse off, wash, and another wash. and she still wasnt clean.
