nah, the chrome strips are in pieces, the front bumper was mashed on the off side and the chrome was missing,
the rear has most of it still there, but its gone a dull whitish colour?!?! i tried to buff it up a bit but no luck (or am i being naiive?)

im fanciing bright orange (like in my sig pic), but i suppose its been done before!  :sad:

you gotta post up some pics m8y  :smiley:

mate go to www.dubmodder.com ! its a sweet site where you can try a few different things out and see what you like best! if you want the chrome bumpers you can get them from this German web site, they also do chrome door handles, mirrors, and all sorts of other goodies that you will be hard pushed to find in the UK! www.volkswarenhaus.de ! i have used them a few times, just e-mail or call them and they will sort you out, takes about 3 days for delivery! good look! oh, bin those thick strip's and get some thin ones, they look much better...... well i think so! lol  :grin:  :smiley:

oh, and with a bit of elbow grease that colour you have should look sweet! a little different!
