What does everybody like ?

Colour coded trims on doors and bumpers

Original grey trim on doors and bumpers

Im unsure as mine was colour coded when I bought it and can't make my mind up if I like it or not onlt taken me 2 years to decide that I'm unsure of them.

I prefer the standard trims but only when they have been treated or dyed to make them black and shiney, the grey goes very chalky and ages the car.

I had colour coded on mine (olive green) didnt like em one bit, looked to green. Bought some standard ones and used leather boot dye on them and the look like new, do them every 6 months and there fine

I've used the heat gun treatment on mine, really could do with sorting the door handles though

I know door handles are a pain treated with all different products think I'll have to dye them.
I'm thinking of heat gun treatment as who ever did them got colour right just their prep wasn't upto scratch and I'll have to strip door trims off and strip them as I carbon wrapped them to hide the bad paint and see if I can strip the paint off them

I prefer the original grey colour. I sprayed mine back to the original grey on the roof as they were peeling. Rover tempest grey is an exact match.
