Chuck them and give them to me in return for the CL bit's you need.

that so tempting if only i could afford to spray all the bits now  :cool:

Why spray, leave them black would break up the colour a bit plus saves looking for full colour bumpers.

if i was gunna keep them black id stick with mine,  reason i have thought about D-arching is to colour coded as i some times think the colour of my car looks poo with black bits  :smiley:

Trust me it will looks loads better with the arches off.

Personally I'd leave them on!!!

If you get CL trims and get them colour coded, then you'll need to get fully colour coded bumpers to make them work properly, which in my opinion is pointless considering the little difference it will make.

Keep it as it is mate.
