Titanium Hood grill conversion
 
Just doing a Titanium Hood Grill mod today so, I'll get some pics done up. I've taken out the two black vents, at the top of the bonnet, near the windscreen. Rubbed them with lightly with wet and dry sand paper and primed them. I got some titanium spray from the local Motor Store and will shortly be spraying the grills!

I thought about doing that to mine last year, but haven't done it yet................I want to see some pics when you complete it. Good luck & I cant' wait to see it.............

Just in case ... Dont forget the water jet housing or it looks odd

I wasnt going to do the washer jets as they are not color coded on the 4.8 grills!!

Ok here is a pic of the grills finished! I'll post a pic of them installed shortly

As an extra on any of the models they are not colour coded but in my opinion when I got mine the washers really stood out so to me it looked odd but then you have the older style of grille so it may not stand out as much, also mine were the actual OEM titanium grilles rather than painted.

I think one of the reasons the jets are not color coded is because if they become faulty or stop working then it's a simple change.

Ok so I popped the jets into the grill and I think you guys are right! It does look odd, so I have just primed them up and going to color code them now also!

Right the finished product. Photos dont do it justice but I really like it and all for the price of a can of spray!!
