Calypso red: Chrome line vs Shadowline

[ALP1NA]

I have a dilemma. Whether to leave Chrome line or move on Shadowline? All comments are welcome. Thanks.

[capri_rob]

I like the Chrome

[Jim320i]

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

[jimbom30cab]

Chrome - looks great

[Morat]

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.

Shadowline for me

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.

IMO my car is in very good condition.

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.

chrome on plastic cars is true poverty spec

[Dezzy]

Plastic bumpers = shadowline IMO.

[HairyScreech]

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

[J_A_C_K_Y_D]

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

Oh how wrong you are....

[THEHOOD]

Shadowline for me.

And that SLR

[sajad09]

Defo shadow line.

[jas025]

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

[leeparkes]

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.

Chrome is for Chromosexuals.

Shadowline all the way.

[BEERBOY123]

Chrome for me on that but no chrome on white E30s.
