I decided to try my hand at painting the front valance from the kit to see how it looks. I've not colour coded the chrome bumper for the time being, but I think when the rest of the kit goes on I'll lose the chrome.

Gotta say, I like it better than the standard chromie front valance that was on there!

looking good Aly but fit the rest of the kit and see how it looks before you do away with the chrome.. I reckon it would suit it.

Keeping the chrome is sorely tempting, and was originally my plan for the car... but the more I think about it I reckon the chrome might look a bit out of place on a car will a full bodykit. I've got enough spare bumpers to try both, so I might just do that!

What colour is your car? It looks very blue/silver to me in the pic. Looks awsome , I too think you should keep the chrome!

The car is Sapphire blue, but most people would say it's silver I reckon - the blue is quite subtle in the flesh.

Not with the new valance on. I'll probably wait til the rest of the kit is done before taking more pics...

I also agree to leaving it chrome, if you want a color matching car just get a pre-facelift. I think the chrome fits well with the scheme and color.
