The votex kit looks fantastic! Really does look good. 8)

I would suggest you colour code the bump strips next.

:D

Andrew you've got your car looking really nice!

I think the unpainted bump strips give it a nice contrast (IMO)

Thanks, its getting there, I fancy taking the side strips off altogether and smoothing the front and rear strips flush with the rest of the bumper, although that will have to wait awhile as the quote was £400 :shock:

I think you should colour code the bump strips, i think it can look cheap with them left unpainted. Car looks spot on tho.

I've read this several times and at first I'd have greed with polosilver and GaryUk about getting the bump stirps sprayed.

However I think i agree more with leaving them now, especially on a light coloured car. As it matches the front grilles plastic and the lower grille nicely.

However my opinion would be to get the door handles and mirror casings sprayed ..... however that is just my opinion :wink:


All in all, very nice :D

I yesterday sprayed the side stripes. The car looks really better

i'm not really in to body kits, my style is all about keeping it low smooth and phat, but - unlike the euro look - with the biggest wheels you can fit (just to throw a bit of uk street style to it)

i do like what you've dont though.

on the topic of low , Andy, any chance you can measure the arch gap (between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch?) on your car just now? Cheers 8)
