Poll! Gloss trim on silver saxo?

14th February 2007, 22:33

As above basically, wont be in the near future but its an idea thats ive been thinkin about. Rather than colour coding having the trim on the outside painted gloss black. Will either look great or gay. Place your vote

I may sound stupid here. What is a gloss trim?

14th February 2007, 22:54

bump strips and side strips, basically the black plastic bits on the bumpers and doors etc

id say go for it mate, i was gonna do this too

14th February 2007, 22:56

it could work but you may aswell use back to black on them and get the same effect. painting them black wont have a big effect on the over all image.

Will look much different to just using back to black mate, will be proper shiny like a black cars paint, or damo's trim;

Should make a difference i reckon but im not sure whether it wil be a bit OTT

i kept wondering about doing this

14th February 2007, 23:38

I say yes as it will be different.

14th February 2007, 23:40

well it will look smooth too as it would iron out the imperfections on the plastic

14th February 2007, 23:42

I think it would look great, save on back to black aswell.

14th February 2007, 23:44

Hmm its really tempting, might add it to the list i think. Ive only ever seen it done once before on DaveWards saxo but it was red.

14th February 2007, 23:51

did a photoshop of what it might look like on your car mate, i know you have a dimma grill now ok

14th February 2007, 23:54

Cheers mate, does look good, will have ultra smokes on soon aswell. WOnt do the mirrors though i dont think, or at least i wasnt thinkin of doin em but now i am. Hmm

15th February 2007, 16:26

15th February 2007, 16:35

only pics i could find, dont show the shine well though. its such an improvement than having normal rubstrips. I even sprayed the lower part of my front bumper too

15th February 2007, 19:37

Get some close up pics for us mate
