Pin Stripping Bumper and Mouldings

I'm tempted to do this, but what colour? I'm thinking white, but what type of paint should I use and do many people do this?

Thanks guys, I'd never of thought of that! Since it's so cheap it'd be rude not too.
Do you think white would look good against jazz blue?

Only if you had White on your car. Like white badges and wheels. But I still think it would only look good if you lost the gti trim and had it colour coded

I'm not really a big fan of the fully colour-coded look, I like the combination of the black and blue but think that the white might help to make the look of the car more 'finished' if that makes sense, maybe blue?

yeah you need a slight colour theme going on somewhere to mach it to really. my black golf had a silver pin tripe to mach the chrome wheels.

i did do abit of a risky colour theme on my black one that worked i recon though. could try this but in white or something



or you could go nuts with the pinstripes and try this  :grin: in my moment of madness
