Pelyma .......Are you confusing Peckham with Golders Green.....
Dr Lex, I got called a jewish wife yesterday at the petrol station.... (i went home with a complex about my nose, until, someone kindly explained the meaning).

But colour coding the pillars will make the car look OTT,
Next youll be going for this look....

and that could lead to warranty complications.

Ooooohhh!!!
What looks even worse than full colour codeing??
Half colour codeing!!

It looks like you forgot to paint the lower bumper parts. SW

Sometimes it is not enough to do our best;
sometimes we must do what is required.

I actually do not like the 100% colour coordinated rear bumper look.

Hmmm thanks all think i'll go for the door handles, front HST grill (suround only) and rear tailgate trim. Like the idea of part colour coding the vents. Standard vents fitted at the moment so will look out for HST (not chrome) which i can the colour code the surround?

Do i then go black with the Range Rover badges on the front and remove the rear ones!!? (not convinced by chrome!) Range Rover Sport HSE and for a bit of weekend fun a S1 Lotus Elise with a few track biased additions!

Re badges, Black front and Black rear.

I normally debadge my cars and did on my previous X5, 330 Conv MSport, 325 MSport Coupe and they carried it well.

I've seen RRS completly debadged, IMO this is a car I will leave all the badges on the rear RR Sport TDV8 09 Santorini Black with all the trimmings

I only know of the Brecht play; is it akin to a Jewish mother or more a Jewish Princess tag?

Has anyone got a photo of a RRS with black badges to the front? Trying now to work out whether to go all black badges or chrome front and back with the side grill fins chrome to tie it all in!? Range Rover Sport HSE and for a bit of weekend fun a S1 Lotus Elise with a few track biased additions!

What sort of price do bodyshops charge for colour coding the bottom sills and tailgate trim?

Can anyone recommend a good bodyshop to do it round the Derby / Nottingham area?

Thanks
