Recently bought a Broom yellow Coupe and i cant decide whether to colour code the lower black parts of the bumpers and sills or not. Whats the consensus on doing this, yay or nay? My car

you could have the best of both worlds buy some side skirts and colour code them and both bumpers then only you will know your sills are still black

Sebasteeno - any chance that you could do the same thing to a picture of a Speed Red 20VT - I also have been thinking of this.
Have you given any thought as to how to get the thick protection type paint off or are you just going to spray over it.

To my eye, it could do with a few more coats. I wouldt bother with a body kit. The colour coded shape of a coupe is superb. The colour match isnt perfect. Apparantley their are four or five different variants of broom yellow depending on the factory it was built in and none were an exact match for my cars paint when i took it to the body shop and paint supplies place. Think i will try and get it better though as whilst my mrs thought it looked perefect i though otherwise.

Here is a yellow one with some skirts, just to compare.... Thanks, loving your AZEVs mate. They'd be perfect on mine and are just the sort of thing im looking for actually.

It isn't mine, but it is verrry nice. Ill slag it off then. Wheels are superb but that bodykit is horrible and doesnt suit the Coupe at all IMO.
