Having not seen them are they any good?
Have a chance of some but would want to repaint them in the same colour as the car, could this be done ok?
-
They're not real carbon, just a carbon effect, and if you remove them from the car you can see that the plastic covers are kinda see through.
Personally I wouldn't paint them, the carbon effect covers seem harder to come by (in my experience cus I could do with a spare one!)
I've left mine unpainted, and on my dragon green Mk3 they look sweet :cool:
-
I would not paint the carbon ones, try and find a matt plastic pair if you want to paint them.

I disagree, don't like that at all :sick: would be much better colour coded IMO of course!
-
What you gotta remember, them lights I took off a pic from my car, there's a tint of green on there, they would look better if they were actually on there ;)

That's probably it then - the green spoils it :grin: :lipsrsealed:
-
The other thing that doesn't help is shep's picture isn't saturated in colour...if that makes sense? The sun light is shining all over it and take a lot of the fullness away, but gives you an idea of what it would look like at least :)
-
I would be carefull colour matching them as I think they are better black as it helps break the front of the car up.
-
better pic for ya shady?
