if it had flowed from the outer edges of the grilles, it would look better

Yeah Iv seen that done before, looks a bit Audi'sh and a tad tame for me. I wanted to try something a bit wider so went out past the grill in a more angular shape.

i dont like it at all, but just a thought why didnt you do it in vinyl wrap instead of paint??
when it comes time to sell it on the mod will put off a lot of buyers, wrap could of been removed easily.
your car though and if you like it then all is good, at least its different.

Bumper had some stone chips etc and previous owner has made a bit of a hash of trimming it for a front mount that was then on. So Im not too bothered about buying another second hand one at some point.

Though I am considering getting the roof and top of rear spoiler wrapped in Matt black.

I saw this on a car at the Richard Burns Rememberance at Prodrive last year and quite liked it then, like you say it's a marmite thing but I do like it.

We all modify our cars to our taste at the time, some good and some bad choices in retrospect as I can testify to myself - that's all that matters is that you like it as we all have differing tastes.

looks good but for me is a bit too wide, prefer the the one where the angle follows the edge of the grille

I'm with that idea, but it doesn't look bad - can't even see the cross-threads
