I've got silve vents as well, well at the moment anyway, I'm want to paint mine white to go with the whole blue and white theme going on. Your car is looking great by the way, I reckon your brake calipers would look better in a light green which will a) go with the car, b) make the alloys really stand out.

you mean centre heater grills or side heater grills?

the 98 k11;s had black side heater grills. but non of them came with black centre heater grills. you could alwayss paint them?
 
well i might have to get my self some black grills for the side and then paint the center ones but will the paint not come off as they get hot mate
 
one of the side skirts got ripped off when the car fell off one of the ramps :S and i couldnt be arsed to stick it back on so i just removed them.

i like it as it stands. nice and suitiable FTW :D

wants standard black plastic door handles back on though lol.
 
my standard back box with a 3" trim welded on...polished the stianless up aswell lol. just needs abit of paint to cover the welds. gonna fit it tomorrow...
