Colour Coding Advice

Hey all,

I have some spare cash to get the car ready for Stanford hall meet and I was wondering if you guys could recommend what I should get colour coded. I only have £50 to spend but I will be doing the job myself which makes things a tad cheaper.

Here's a pic of my car:



I have decided against getting the side rubbing strips sprayed (I know they are starting to go grey and I will be black waxing them shortly), and also the rear bumper rubbing strip as I will be replacing the whole bumper at some point. My main interest is the wing mirrors, the black bit on the front bumper that surrounds the number plate (will be leaving the bits under the headlights) and the door handles. Now I think the door handles are going to be very tricky as I don't want to spray them on the car and its going to be a bitch to get them off.

Here's a pic of a car thats had the front bumper done how i want it:



What do you people think, what would you colour code?

Thanks
Dave

Re: Colour Coding Advice

In my opinion, i'd really only colour code your mirrors. I think the black inserts (especially on the front) are a great design. Only my preference tho
