So Chloe is going to the body shop next week for the person who rolled into my bumper last month and cracked it.. =\
Anyhow, replacing it with a JCW aero-- but since the body shop will need to spray the bumper in ds already... should I have him spray my grill surround and headlight rings too???
anyone have any pics of it color matched? Here is a quick crappy photochop b4 and after...

 

I like the black better. Especially, on your color.

 

stick with the black. the contrast looks way better.

 

I would go with the body color match. But then again, that's what I did with my car, so I'm biased. I think it puts less emphasis on the headlights and the grill, so it makes them look a little smaller and kinda porsche like. If you don't like it, you could go back to black...

I painted mine with body color match paint from minspeed. The down side to doing it this was was the rather large number of rock chips I have had to touch up.

What I want to do is have the parts professionally painted and then clearbra the whole front end.

Having said all that. I think the black does look really good on your car

 

I would do the grill surround in black and the headlight ring in body color.

 

black

 

Body all the way but I would say that...

 

Black

 

To answer the first part, Black. Have you already priced your Aero kit? Morristown Mini is selling them already painted for $1600 ($250 in shipping). That being said, if the other person's insurance company is paying for it, who cares.

 

Yea, just the front end is being swapped- difference comes out to 80$ for parts, woo!
He is doing my headlight rings in body color for free, since my brother knows him- but i realized i didn't ask him to do the headlight washers.. =\ though now im thinking it'll end up looking like this... which isnt too bad, since i have a black grill and everything else black to match the washers... we'll see. I could always get them sprayed for a few bucks im sure..


now the next question is... i wonder if (since the bodyshop ordered the parts last week), if i'll get the brake duct kit, though i think thats seperate probably, but i hope the grill doesn't come with holes... that'd be ugly, and would force me to get the ducts... =p (bad for my wallet!!), but it looks like the lip/splitter is a bit different... more aggressive??

 

I like the washers in black Looks great with that aero kit.

 

Erik,

You can always re-spray them black if you don't like the body colored look. This way it gives you options.
