Right then here goes.

Im going be fitting some le side skirts to my coup with hopefully le bumper lips. Now at the mo the bottom of the bumpers are standard black along with the sill.
I have a scotts green coup.
The question is do i spray the new lips and skirts green or do i spray them satin black?
I do like the idea of black or will it look odd?

Cheers guys. :-)

IMO the whole point of skirts IMO is that they look like a continuation of the rest of the car body IMO, so go green..........IMO

That's what I would have done (and did!), the front that is!
Seems to me the lower part of the front was never intended colorcoded, with it's small fins and legs. The original design of the black bits and the colored bits is completely different, looking at it with a industrial design eye. I know Fiat later just painted it all, but that seems more like the Cheapest Possible Facelift at the end of it's life cycle.
Click mine below if you'd like to know how cool the colored splitters look then, though my bumper is custom rebuilt as well.

The rear valance would look out of place black though, with colored skirts.

Do one side black and the other green, leave it for a while and then make the decision !
