   A quick question - looking to spray the black trim on my amazon green east coast, but should I go for gloss black or colour coded?
   
   
   
   Gloss black could look quite elegant, while colour coded may look more original.
   
   Any thoughts?

   It's a 1.0ltr, I don't want to go lying about it. I'd have to lower it, get alloys, way to much money for a 1.0ltr. I just want it looking nice for the time I've got it - I won't have it forever.
   
   I did think about it though..

   I wouldnt bother with that personally, get it lowered and on some 14" VTR wheels and enjoy it
   
   But if i was going to do it I would use gloss back haha

    It's 3 spoke, otherwise I would. Too much money to change the hub, etc.
    
    Cheers guys, been a big help - but I'm still wondering if there are any images of a green saxo with black gloss bumpers?
