   right, im in 2 minds about spraying these. i would do it myself, as iv sprayed alot before but i really cba to tape up and cover my car.
   
   so if im going to get them done professionaly would it look silly if i done them 'Rover charcoal Metalic' the same as my wheels??
   
   it looks black, but has a slight sparkle. or just do them gloss black?

   Gloss black would look amazing against the yellow of your car imo.

   it will work out pretty much same price, the same prep work has to go into doing it properly and most bodyshops mix the paint on site and will use the same amount of materials
   
   looking at anywhere between £120ish to £200 or there abouts

   ok nice one. i might go down scrappy and get a door panel, quickly spray it mango yellow (or close enough) then spray strip gloss black then charcoal and see what looks best

    Same colour as the wheels, you would only want to do them again in the gray after seeing loads of other saxo's with the same black strips at the next meet down your way.
