Colour code or leave black?

[Jordi17]

Thinking of having my bumpers colour coded in the new year, just did a quick go on Paint and not too sure if i like it or not maybe too much silver going on.

what you think, should i get it done or leave black?

 

[Ed]

yer, go for it!

 

[Pettsi]

Go for it!

Make sure the colour match is better than pictured though!

 

[Jordi17]

ha yeah i hope it will be!!

You dont think there will be too much silver going on then?

 

[cat171]

I'd leave it alone & buy some nicer looking wheels tbh.

 

[Willy]

Na will look much better when color coded have a look at some silver sports

 

[Invexis-]

do it.

i want my black car coding when i get round to it.
Thought about doing it myself.
quote was 270 pounds

will do eventually but though i would do that after

 

[Firas]

colour code mate. wheel can wait imo

 

[AlexG]

I wouldnt do it mate. Silvers dont look that great when they are all colour coded. Do a few little bits like the door handles, spoiler and the mirrors. then leave it alone. Use the money to buy some better wheels.

You got a pic of it as it is now bud ?

 

[Pettsi]

Yea... Silver looks horrible when colour coded...

 

[Jordi17]

mmmmm, decisions decisions!!!!

I can either

buy new wheels ( probably be anthracite/black team dynamics 15")
OR
Fully colour code - swaying towards this as i already have alloys on...

 

[Firas]

lol

 

[Jordi17]

yeah mate...

 

[Pettsi]

I spose you could do - handles, side bump stripes, wing mirrors..

 

[cat171]

I spose you could do - handles, side bump stripes, wing mirrors..

Agreed, although the bumpers might look odd then ?

 

[Android]

i like it with the black trim

 

[Jordi17]

mmmmmmm, any chance someone could photoshop some team dynamics 1.2s in black onto my car as it stands at the mo? That way i can see both options...

 

[rosskerr]

id keep the black trim.. get some fox r3's and spray in between spoke silver..

bro did it on his corsa and it didnt look bad at all

 

[Peperami]

Colour code it.

 

[Fletcher]

I'd colour code it.

 

[Marky_]

Wing mirrors and door handles - job done. Leaves some black to break it up a bit.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Do the mirrors, door handles, and side bumpstrips but not the bumpers IMO.

you dont think it would look odd with front and back bumpers being black? May leave the 16v bullets black too...

 

[iimushroomzii]

Nah i think it'll look good tbh.

 

[Kerryclio]

I am going to colour code mine when i get round to it, or get my mate to do it

 

[Jordi17]

May just do the mirrors, door handles and side strips, then spray my standard wheels black.

all of these ideas lol

 

[Jordi17]

another view on paint

 

[chrisyj]

id save ur money and get a cup!

lol, could do

 

[MoRpH3uS]

colour coded and silver bullets imo...

 

[Tigger]

Leave the bullets black mate, CC the rest

 

[simoxmino]

paint all!!

 

[Jordi17]

How about this...

Then colourcode wingmirrors, door handles and rear spoiler?

Spot on mate. But get some 172 or dynamique wheels and do them in anthracite.

 

[Coby.]

I'd CC it Silver.... Will look so much better IMO

Should be able to get it done for £150-£175 for Cash from a Friendly Bodyshop

you think i'll be able to get all of it done for that?

Front strip, rear strip, side strips, door handes, wing mirrors and rear spoiler, for all of this i bet they'll charge a bomb!

 

[StevenMc29]

should get it colour coded. i got my dynamique colour coded recently. cost a wee bit more than that though^^^

imo makes a huge difference to the car. invest in a cup spolier too if you can get your hands on one

 

[Coby.]

Some places may..... Where I get the GF's Car Parts sprayed I got Front and Rear Mouldings and Door Handles for £80 cash

The Guy always quotes much above like £150 for the Above parts but then leaves me a Voicemail or Text stating what I owe him with emphasis on Cash
