How far to go with colour coding!?

I am currently in the process of 'tweaking' a 2005 java black RRS HSE. Dealer fitted chrome wingmirrors covers removed (not convinced about those) and java black ones on order, HST front grill fitted and awaiting clear side indicators and clear front indicator reflectors. The car also has 20" Stormer wheels and side steps (Unfortunately I've not yet worked out how to post pics from a host website using an iPhone hence the lengthy description!! Embarassed )

I'm trying to figure out how far to go with colour coding? Was intending on doing the front grill and rear tailgate moulding, started to think about adding coded door handle covers and vents? Thought it might look half done without these? Or Do I then just go the whole hog and get the bottom trim colour coded as well!?

What a dilemma!!? Laughing Range Rover Sport HSE and for a bit of weekend fun a S1 Lotus Elise with a few track biased additions!

Go the whole hog but only do the edges of your front grill Thumbs Up

You have to have the bottom bits colour coded, otherwise imo it looks like youve forgotten to do them. Smile

Keep it minimal and FFS don't go anywhere near that floating roof, it will look ridiculous. Enjoy! Mr. Green L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

If you have a bit closer look, you will see that the car is already colour coded!

Add coded miror covers and you are done.

Oh yeah, and loose the side steps, unless your height is no more than 1.75 m Whistle Wink SW

sometimes we must do what is required.
