Colour code it, otherwise it will look like one of those cars you see driving around where they have bought a different colour door (or boot, or bonnet) from a scrappy and can't be arsed to paint it.

lol, I was just look at the pictures and thinking it would look better if the motegi kit was white! Spent £150 getting the motegi sprayed silver about 5 months ago so probably best to get the spoiler done in silver too.

i have gone for the two tone with the S. white car, all black hilights and carbon bonnet. this needs to be one or the other. you gotta jump in deep or it looks, as shiny says, like you have not been bothered.

your car deserves better ;) :D and you know it. 8-)

how do you mean headlight surround? have you got some eyebrows?

i want some of those but in carbon :twisted:

I thought about going for a metallic black but i decided that was too much. gloss black is a nice contrast to the glow of the pearl.

Wouldnt mind some Azect eyelids but they are next to impossible to find. I dont like the other eyelids as they have a nasty flick on the outside.

The best eyelids I've found were an extension on the bonnet, looked awesome but not exactly a stick on :(
