Yay or Nay to colour coding?

[geordieracer]

I have a 2003 Cyclone blue 1.6 dynamique.

Was gonna colour code it but am not sure now as i think the black breakd up the blue a bit.

For some reason last night (when i got back from the pub!) I had the thought of having the bump strips, spoiler and handles painted gloss black.

Anyone got any thoughts on this? Should i colour code or get the strips etc done gloss black?

Yes definately do it.

 

[geordieracer]

Yes definately do it.

Is that colour coding or gloss blackness?

 

[jamesp24]

Color coding.

Good idea, i will have to get some decent pics done and then will see if someone can do a 'shop for me.

Yep, colour code will look good

 

[clio_luke]

[cat171]

[Rob's172]

do it

 

[leighk18]

dont do it color code looks crap!

 

[Renault_Boy01]

colourcode it

If my car was a better colour (e.g. black or silver) i would colour code without hesitation.

Its just I am not sure whether there will be too much of the cyclone blue if i colour code.

leave it black imo breaks up the colour nicely
do your wheels gloss black?

 

[geordieracer]

Ok, could someone please do me a photoshop and colour code the bump strips and door strips for me ? Also if you could colour the wheels gloss black to give me some idea?

a quick go:

usually I prefer colour coding but im not to sure tbh

black wheels: dont like

ben

 

[geordieracer]

Much appreciated Ben, thanks.

Mmm, think i will keep the black to be honest, and def a no-no with the black wheels.

 

[MT AUDIO]

if you had some pro race 1.2s in gloss black would look good

 

[geordieracer]

I have a set of 172 16s waiting to go on after i have it lowered on the Eibach pro suspension i am waiting on.

 

[Middo]

cant remember who has it now, but there is a colour coded cyclone on here and it looks 10x better. i'd definetely get it done.

not exactly the same, but gives you an idea:

 

[MT AUDIO]

thats gloss black

 

[geordieracer]

Its not MikeyDees is it Middo? Sometimes i think it is cyclone, others i am not sure.

To be honest, after seeing it i am really not sure about CCing it.

If i can get some cheap second hand bump strips from somewhere i may do it so i can put it back to normal if i dont like it.

Oh My Days! Users on here need to BRUSH up on there photoshop skills!!!

That bumper looks crap tbh! I would get it colour coded though!

 

[Peperami]

I used to have a cyclone blue. Colour code it, fit 182 grille, get the 172 wheels done in graphite grey, and lower it. Looks lush in the flesh mate.

do it yourself then you prick!!!

it was just a quick go to give him an idea!!

Get the sidestrips and the handles done but leave the front to break it up.

Least that was my plan

colour code it, will look loads better. only thing putting you off i think is thats a terrible photoshop so it looks very bad (he had good intentions )

he did have good intentions and he was the first one to do it and it was much appreciated. I don't have a clue how to do that and as he said, it was just a quick go, so people earlier on shouldnt have had a go at him.

Am still trying to decide though lol

 

[Ryan k]

Get it done will look by far better

 

[Final Maxim]

sorry it aint perfect but its first ive done in a good year

f**k it, thats the best i can do, that colours a b**ch to ps

 

[Giles]

yeah do it, will looks good

 

[Hutchie]

ok so mine is different colour but i think it looks loads better colour coded, make sure primer get done pretty thick so its the same color as rest of car!!
