    Do you guys agree that keeping the black bump strips will contrast well ??

    That actually looks pretty tidy mate, i like.

    Yeah i reckon keep the bumper strips black, separate the colour a bit. Think if it was all green it might look a tad too much.

    just remember you get what you pay for. if i was paying for a respray i would want a mint job and expect to pay the price for it (over 1k). so with you paying under that then id just make sure the guy knows what he is doing.

    if it is a good job and you do get your car like the photoshop then it would look quite good imo
