Hmmm I'm in two minds now, I might play around with some more photoshopping and different angles. How are you going to change it back, respray or new moulding?

Hi there, could you photoshop this sport for some of our members who was wanting to see these new Glohh rear lights on a black RRS. Thumbs Up
Many thanks.

^^^^ Good idea Ady, never miss an opportunity hey Very Happy


And colour coding on a HST is a must on any colour other than grey IMO, on a grey car it doesn't stand out as much so you can get away with it.

Turns out this photoshopping is not easy!?

Here is a badly done black version, I can only seem to work out how to do black, sorry stornoway drivers.

I agree not sure now!!! Maybe tinted 2010 on LEDs in what I'll go for instead.

Sorry op for the takeover.... To answer you question I'm not sure which looks better' I'm all for the all black look but if I had a hst I'd want the bumpers to stand out. Infact I'm looking for some bumpers, cheapest I've found is £1595 with best offers. Then I'd have to decide how to paint them. Whistle

Here's another badly Photoshopped image of a black one, with comparison to the standard 2012 rear lights in black I think.


To the OP I'd say keep some contract on the front bumper otherwise it could just look like a black lump with no detail...

Regards the grille, vents and door handles if you loose the grey on the grille and vents I think you need to carry that through and make the door handles black also.

Cheers

Top work guy!!! Still can't decide, doesn't look like glohh are replying to the thread about price anymore either.

Op mines got black handles and indicators on the side and it looks loads better Thumbs Up

And a butchered Stornoway grey attempt:




Just a note I haven't attempted to match the "britghness of the glohh light with the photos used so they probably are a bit more "in your face" than in reality.

RRSCommuter, here's a couple of pics of a colour coded HST. Not fully black but mostly....






Hope that helps.

After seeing them last photos I'd colour code the handles and anything else on the sides but leave bumper sections. For me it shows of the extra lines and shape of the bumper been grey, will black you tend to lose shape IMO.
