thats a good job i think, just curious how did you go about doing it? it matches really well, i would select the area and then desaturate it then choose selective color then pick the correct blue. How did you do it?

oh and it looks a lot more aggresive colored

White and black wheels are harder to do because it takes away the detail from it. I just tried but it didn't turn out to well.

i beleive you can get the Leg Sport lip in non-CF, but even the CF one is hard to get here.

it does look good if it were painted and had gold wheels like those.

Going to have to agree to disagree. Cant stand the painted look.

That being said, yes you can get them frp which you can paint. If you are REALLY striggling and are REALLY desperate, I have already spoken to our local supplier who can forward onto the US but it gets expensive.

Cheers

You should start a poll here in the multimedia gallery. And see who says paint it and who says leave it. Bet the majority say paint

Right now I feel the CF lip and spoiler are a nice subtle look. Im happy withit and while thats the case its going to stay that way.

Might do the poll later if I get bored with it. Or feel free to start it yourself.

Cheers
