   Hey guys, just wondering about colour coordinating exterior parts.
   
   I've just sprayed my citroen sign on the front illuminous orange and was wondering what other parts you guys think would look good without going over the top?
   
   Cheers...

   Mirror Caps,
   Rear Badges,
   And maybe alloys or just the lip but that's it.

   i was thinking the badges, mirror caps and alloys myself. Maybe then make a start on the inside and do the fabric on the door cards. seen quite a nice guide on here.

   Should look quite smart,
   Maybe try black vts alloys with a orange lip that'd look wicked.

   Maybe the boot trim around the lock,you could spray that orange.Just keep it subtle.

   i'm liking that idea too. i don't have a lock on the boot, been (bodged) smoothed over by the previous owner and had an electric locking mechanism fitted.
   
   Also debadged the back, so instead of buying badges i could just do the lock surround thing.

    #18 6th November 2011, 12:59

    They just pop off, get a old bank card something so you don't damage the paint,
    Also theirs nothing in for sale section either for S alloys or GTI leathers unfortunately.

    Then when you respray try and find a cool dry place to spray just below room temperature would be perfect.

    i know, the guy i bought it off stripped everything off it and sold it to me pretty much standard. i think the only things left on it are the lightened flywheel and engine mounts.
    
    The guy who i bought it off had bought it off the person in the above picture. Unfortunately i think it was stripped down just so the last owner could make a few more quid in selling it.

    They're kinda like projectors but without the clear cover.
