Do many people paint the diffuser parts on there HST bumpers?

The parts circled in red on my car:

I have mine colour coded looks miles better IMHO

Yours is black on black so wouldn't stand out as much as on silver but bet it looks good.

What do you think to doing mine gloss black? Wish I was good on or even had Photoshop

It may look like a big hole at the front if I do it black, like a fast and furious style bumper from a distance or may look great. Or could just go with colour coding...

I don't think black would be the avenue to go dow for yours mate

Monky

This may help give you an idea of what it would look like. Far from perfect I'm afraid but the picture you posted was quite small/low quality...

I'd change your rear lights to 2010 Led spec I think if you colour coded the front and rear lower apron's it might be just a bit too much

I am trying to get mine done at the moment. Mine is black though.
I think it looks great when you see one that is coded. S/C in Java Black.(I think). Yip, it is.

Cheers Simon, if you get 5 mins can you do it all black with grill, if taking the just say so I can see what it looks like. Think I might go with the piano black option.

Planning on doing the front and rear diffusers, the front grill & side vents all in black, and colour code the door handles. Also get the later lights Ady you mean the LED ones yeah?

Cheers all.

Yes But make sure you get the ones with built in resistors or the indicators on the dash flash too quickly as if you have a bulb out, try pete at
http://bellautoservices.co.uk/ he had some for sale a while back at a good price, he might be able to get you some

Yeah cheers buddy, noticed the ones on ebay with built in resistors so will make sure I get a set with them included. They look nice at night time I must admit Also want those late spec side vents with the bar across them.

Might try out that lowering module in Beta form as well, the one that chap is selling. Only want maybe 10mm don't want access height as will be running on the bump stops but a tiny bit would look good I think, is yours stock height? Or could try out those lowering links.

I usually put mine in access mode when taking photos i think it looks better that way, but i think with the lowering module it will be a harsh ride

The ride is horrible when car is lowered, I had mine find and took put it back straight away

How much did you lower by? And which method?

I don't want anything like access mode as it rides horrible, just a tiny bit like 5-10mm.

Got the links on mine they work fab n looks much better,handles better n feels sportier it's a bit stiffer but it feels better on road and on corners and it's lost that boaty feeling u get on the motorway too

i think its looks better in the std colour TBH, black is passable but silver looks terrible fully colour coded
