Title: colour code door handels?
Post by: louis_23 on 01 September 2009, 00:30

hi all playing around on paint brush and decided to see what car would look like with colour coded door handels, i actually quite like it as its a subtle difference that would almost go unoticed and looks cleaner and leaving only the arches and bumpers with black plastic. but what do you guy's recon should i colour coded them or keep them black?

I'm going to spray mine on my CL - I think it will look much tidier/cleaner. Not sure if I would do the same on a gti as you have so much matching trim anyway  :undecided:

if you had different handles, and the right colour car, it may look good colour coded.

But i think the standard handles are better left as is.

personally i like colour coded handles, but they do tend to chip easilly, especially if the paint job is a diy one
