   Ive had the icelandic for quite a while now, and feel that its about time to change it a little bit.
   
   What are your opinions on getting the saxo the colour coded (except from the mirrors), spraying the VTR alloys white, and spraying the headlights black?
   
   Thanks

   Either keep them standard or Gloss Black IMO. I don't think Icelandic looks quite right colour coded, but if you look at Preds (which is just the standard bump strips) it's absolutely stunning when they're kept clean and black (autoglym bumper care ftw).

   thanks...wont be able to keep them standard as paint is coming off the front bumper so something needs to be done. Ive been looking at a few pictures on the site and got to say that i quite like the colour coded iclandics.

   Go for it then buddy. At the end of the day, it's what YOU like, not what others like. If you like the look of it then do it. Black usually suits it nicely though, so you could maybe go for some black wheels?
