I got this thing with chrome on my car, I got a 12mm chrome strip round the bumpers and rubbin strips, chrome tint windows, rear chrome lights, chrome grill badge, chrome indicators on mirrors, so, the fuel flap was faded so thought it be good to do something different, will do it at a later stage though but done the proper way!!  :laugh: Gonna do the hatch/catch handle along with the armour plates too,
Each to their own, its just me putting my sig on the car, we all do it in some strange way!!!!  :rolleyes:
