Body coloured sills? Who has painted theirs?

[DUBGT]

Hi there all, my car is going into the body shop at the weekend for a refresh and I am still undecided whether or not to repain the sills in their current OEM black colour or to have them done in Calypso Red to match the rest of the car.

If anyone has had paintwork done to their car and carried the colour all the way down to the lower sills could you post a couple of pics to show the outcome?

Would be great to see what you have...

Many thanks in advance, James.

I painted mine on my convertible painted them alpine white 2 within 3-4 weeks too may stone chips sopainte them black again. just give it a fresh coat of good quality black paint and it looks a treat. or opt for a grey colour like the E34 M5 look

I painted mine aswell as the rear valance, I have SE side skirts now though which are also body colour.

Mine are the same colour as the car on my cab..

DUBGT, Ziggy ,one of the mods on here has colour coded his sills too.
His car is in his signature.

keep them black they look crap colour coded imo

Only works if you've got significantly deeper than standard front/rear valences IMO.

Agreed, gives light coloured cabs a 'fat belly' appearance IMO

That's kind of what I was worried about. I thought it might make the car look lower but the fat belly effect will make the car deeper and as a result not so long and sleek.

Thanks for the opinions guys. If anyone has any pics it will help otherwise I'll have a go at it in photoshop...

Theres a link in my sig... bear in mind that cabs have different sills to tin-tops - not sure what you've got.
