So you gonna paint the bumpers like the pic on the previous page? Or like I've done?
Or not decided yet?

Fair enough, I think most are purists though who will say do it like the first pic as the second one with the whole bumper painted looks a bit Roy Bacer (though my intention was to make it look a bit "Sport"
)
At the end of the day it's your car so you can't really let other people decide what you do to it.

I just left them as I knew people would be opening doors on them in supermarkets etc and if I painted it I knew it'd get chipped off and I'd be constantly respraying.

No I've left that for reasons explained above 
It doesn't look as odd as you might think looking at the car from the side.

Here's a side-on pic, doesn't look as odd as you might think does it?
Though to be fair I will probably do the door bumper things when (if) I paint the rear bumper....

The rims are being sold (reminds me I've gotta take close-up pics for the potential buyer
) as I couldn't stand the ride quality 
Did look good while they were on though
Really not sure about your plan of spraying the spokes of the rim body-coloured
Perhaps black or grey but red rims?

Probably a good idea, or PM someone who knows their way around Photoshop and has too much time on their hands.......Sjoerd! 
It will look awful though - it's like painting the front grilles or kidneys body-colour, a good idea in theory but looks
k (
) when you actually do it!

Marvin Medium, as I said 
You need to remove the foam strips along the tops of the grilles, and then stick the brows in place. Easy peasy
