I've been humming and harring about getting mine done (silver) and I'm still not sure. I'd rather go for a new bumper (GTI style) and paint that. I did think that the silver might look rubbish.

I think if it was black like the above caddy with the GTI look front, it looks nice.

I have been thinking about doing mine but not sure it would look right in white. And the grey look is growing on me.

I would personally leave all the grill part unpainted... looks more defined.
