right..cant decide to take the black strip off that runs through the middle of the car...

only pic I have is this one (I'm at work!)



Whats peoples thoughts? - I need to do a bit of spraying and the stip has to come off to do it so would have to replace them all round...

Keep em, it's a cool thing on the small bumpered cars especially on white. You can get new ones off a guy on eBay.

cheers..hopefully the new wheels will compliment the rest of the car - even though it looks a bit of a mess at the moment :(

Keep! They look great when the cars all clean and the trim's all blacked.

I'd keep them but replace the side repeaters with white ones, looks too busy when they're orange.

Just be sure and take your time if you do whip em off! Anne(pinkwitch)`s git has some partially removed ones and we are gonna replace them as it seems easiest. Also a nice period feature
