carbon hella twins
« on: 25 February 2009, 18:15 »
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.
