Opinions/Advice please
« on: 06 March 2008, 12:22 »
as we all know our bumpers, trims and arches all fade to grey and im thinkin of doing something about it.

i have a set of skirts that are already glossy black and was thinkin bout gettin them fitted. they need a respray so i thought if i get these done, i might aswel get the whole kit done. the questions is what colour? im not sure if i get all all the trims, bumpers etc painted to black gloss, but  maybe it'll look outa place on an old tired paint job. i considered matt black but agen it wouldnt really go. ive also thought about gettin them colour matched to the paint but agen that ill show up the old paint.

i dont wana get a full paint job because i dont wana spend money i dont have. so basically what you guys think would go best? im more swung towards black but i just dont know what type of black.

any help will be much appreiciated :)

Cheers, Russ

I'm not too keen on painted Mk2 bumpers, but if I was going to do it I would test either satin black or body coloured.

No trims  :cool: it's the (pikey) way forward  :laugh:

Just kidding, Satin Black would look good.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I don't think a semi will give the same results
