In the opinion of you lovely gents here, is it acceptable to have certain bits of your car painted pink? I'm not talking the whole car, but just the rear lights/ repeaters, (new sprayable) handles and bump strips. Just to give it that girly look - the rest of it is silver. Or would it be just too naff? Thoughts please!

TOo naff in my opinion but then again I am not much of a stlyish guy.

If you do it keep all the old bits to put back on when you sell the car, because not everyone is going to like it.
A local boyracer shop had reduced box the other day there was loads of pink side repeaters in there, i thought who would want them, now i know, you!

No, no, no, no, NO!

Having "bits" of a car sprayed pink is even worse than spraying the whole thing pink. Have you ever seen the "boy racer" skips (usually an old Fiesta/Nova/AX/Metro etc) with coloured detailing? Lots of them have blue taillights/mirrors/repeaters etc on white/red/brown cars and it always looks crap. Imagine the same thing but with pink on silver...[xx(]
Go with clear taillights and repeaters, as these improve the looks of any car, and if they aren't already colour-coded then you could spray door handle & bump-strips in the same silver as your car's paintwork [8D]

Hmmm, when the one guy that thinks it's a good idea drives a yellow car......

I'll rethink that one then. Plan B is a very dark blue or haematite kinda colour. Which I suppose is a little less obvious and matches with the silver.

Go ahead. But do something that covers the bumb strips, such as vinyl as Donz says. Use a heatergun or whatever to make it fit (get someone to do it). Spraying them pink will be a disaster after opening the door into other cars enough times.

i meant a full on vinyl, silver and a pink blend would look sweet!

That's a nice idea Donz - I was thinking of the simple option, but you're right, a bit more knowhow and cash and it could look....interesting. Thanks :I

I think the Blue would be better...subtle is cool when done well...

Then again, Im the last one to talk subtly!!

i think im the only one who thinks 'boy racer' painted bits dont look all that bad


Cinq Sporting - and yes, its broom yellow!

Noooooooooooooo, not the whole car. I'd look like a big pink......thing driving down the road. It's just that everyone else goes for silver or blue, I wanted to be different, but not so different it'll look stoopid.

i dont think it'd look stupid with pink 'bits' - well i dont think it would anyway

edit: dont talk on the phone, and type - u get crazy sentences!

I'm sure your (personal) pink bits look lovely arc - please just don't post any pictures, my sensibilities might be upset :I.

I think everyone can get the gist of what you were trying to say from my follow on post arc. oooohhh err missis.

One word: Why?
