Colour coded kits are ok if bought....don't spray them as they would look  :sick: :sick:  CL door trims look good and I have to admit de arched would be the better option. I also removed the sill trim on mine to make it look loads better. The only Black trim on mine now is the front splitter.

Spot on painted arch trims are horrid.

Dont listen to them! I did mine as a test as i was unsure, i think it looks good! They need to be done properly now though!



I think it looks good and that's all that matters  :smiley: :grin:

Snifferdog - wheels are looking spot on! :cool:

Cheers mate! I actually quite like your coded strips!

I painted the other wheels today, the finish is actually better than on the one I took the pics of, mustve been the practice. I got the front ones on but the snow was coming down quite quick and the car was sliding around on the jack  :shocked: - so Ive got 2 grey wheels and 2 standard at the minute!
