Chrome line looks so much better... I think shadowline can make some models look a bit poverty spec, but not all.

Chrome on the darker colours looks great!

Chrome looks more executive but the showdowline is more sporty on a facelift car. I prefer the sporty look personally.

For me it all depends on the condition. Mine has lots of marks on it so once I have all the mechanical issues out the way I would like to change it to the shadowline. Mine is royal blue metallic so a dark colour also.
If its in good contion keep it, looks nice on your car.

Shadowline, for me chrome trim only works if you've got chrome bumpers!

I was expecting to prefer Shadowline but am pleasantly surprised how good the chrome works with calypso red. Chrome for me.

i dont like chrome trim on anything made after about 1970, the newer the car the worse it looks imo.

Hmmm..... not sure, both look good on calypso, probably swaying more towards the shadowline though =/

Shadowline for me too. But it's marginal - it does still look good with the chrome in the pics.

Id stick with chrome if you intend to keep the body standard, looks just right.
If it were tech-2 it would be shadowline without a doubt.
What are those wheels? Look like style 32's but 4 stud.

I plan to keep the current state. Wheels are original Alpina 7x15 all around.leeparkes wrote:Id stick with chrome if you intend to keep the body standard, looks just right.
