If it's an otherwise standard looking car, a 4mo / 150 TDI one is a subtle touch. Anni's will always be best, but really need the rest of the kit to look right.

No lets start again :grin: :grin: the bodyshop can match the colour thats not a problem  what the guy at the bodyshop is saying if he sprays the valance the same colour as my car it will look to much over the top and he thinks spraying the valance textured black with look better  as the black valance brakes up the colour instead of it being all one colour like the colour coded anni's are .
So i took pictures of my car to show you the colour of it and to see if it would be best to colour code the valances like the anni's have them to match my car as i planed or take bodyshop advice and go for the textured black look
