Painted trims

just to throw a spanner in the works
how about colour coded and no trims?

**T5RatherAmusin** · Friday 21st February 2014, 21:25

Looks so much fresher coded!

Fully colour coded on lighter 850's look wrong, it looks alot better on darker cars and tbh the colour coded bumpers on mine is what made it standard out when I was looking to buy one. That said if I had one which wasn't colour coded I wouldn't be rushing out to colour code it as I think they look good without colour coding. The one thing I would potentially do to any colour is fit later 70 series handles and have them colour coded, that said I still have 850 handles on mine.... lol

Light coloured ones look really naff I think, but I'm really liking the dark ones!
Andy, you got any bigger pics of yours? Liking the look....

I think colour coding the handles and side trims is to much on the dark cars.

This was the car in question

After much thought it would be terrible to paint the trims

Darker coloured 850s do look good with colour coded bumper but all for keeping 850s looking period.

Looks ace! Yep, I'm going coded!

I also got one of those egg crates in the post today too.... Tell me how tricky/easy is it to get the badge and chrome on it?

I tried to get my door handles painted but my local body shop said they couldn't do it.

Does anyone know anyone in cheltenham area that could paint my door handles?

Get some S/V70 ones, they're painted from the factory.
