Would it look weird if you only did the bumpers?

colour-coded makes it look like you`ve spent a lot of money on it, but maybe color-coding the bumpers and leaving the doorstrips is a happy medium smileys/smiley17.gif

im havin the whole of my VT kit sprayed professionally at the end of this month and fitted completely flush. can either get it all colour coded, or if i leave the bits black whats the best way to smooth any rough bits and get them lookin jet black agen n not a dull slightly greying black (back 2 black doesnt seem to have a prolonged effect)

AutoGlym bumper care is quite good for that. I used it on mine and its made the trim look darker and cleaner

yeah i know what your saying mate when i clean the plastic bits they look too shiny n tacky, the only way i can think of is to primer them then flat them down soo there smooth then paint them jet black
