if you want you could black out the chrome on the kidney and window surrounds. And as you said color code the bumper to the body (leaving the black rubber part black)

Year I think i might black out the grill as it easy to change back, i think it will make it look a bit more sinister :evil: ? hopefully not ott. but not the chrome around the windows i think it looks quite good on the silver cars. cheers for you input tho

What about the pin stripe? any suggestions on colour or style?
