i recently re psrayed my 318is in estoril blue, what im trying to do is give it a FRESH look if you know what i mean. i want it to look smooth and new and shiney but like it was produced that way.... anyhow what i was wondering is should i change all the window surrounds which currently all black for chrome? i have colour coded the bumpers and the door strips but before i put the these last few items on i wondered whilst they were off should i go for chrome?

Chrome window surrounds would look cool with your colour, gives the car more definition and precisceness.

i think non chrome would be good with that colour. Im a chromie myself and think it goes better with some colours more than other. For example my Baur is in zinno red and i think the chrome looks spot on.
