Evening everyone, I've been wanting to get my roof and mirrors done black and change the kidneys but now a thought has crossed my mind to have the 3 painted the same colour as the shadow line trim?
What's your thoughts? I'm scared people will think it's a very bad black paint job if u get me? |

my opinion is
people spraying roofs black to make it appear that they are infact a panaramic sunroof or CF invariably ends up looking crap - same on mirrors I also think that if you like the above things then do it, it's your car so only your opinion counts - just be careful cos the black roof thing is getting to be a little bit boy racer

I do agree though with it being a bit boy racerish but it started off with the grills then thinking what else I could change lol and wasn't sure if it would actually look as boy racerish since it's on a higher end car opposed to say a corsa/fiesta. Thanks though it's always good to get a "cons" to my "pros" before jumping in and getting it sprayed |

I got a local quote for wrapping n it's around £250 where as I have a good spray guy that will do it in the same price region n I wouldn't have had to worry about the vinyl peeling or stone chips on the mirrors - this was all that swayed it as I was gonna wrap first! Yeah it's titanium silver with shadow line trim (being replaced next week under warranty)

Go for the wrap option. At some time in the future you will want to sell, and will make the process a lot easier if the personal theme is reversible IMO
