I just saw the original photos taken of my Mitzi on the day it got the partial wrap, before I added the chrome trim strip around the grille...

Now I'm not sure which I prefer!

Let me know what you think, but you have to fess-up; which do you have - chrome or blacked-out?


Cheers!

I think the black option definitely suits the blue better

I personally like the black with out the chrome, and that is what I ran with when I had my vrx (until one of the dogs chewed the vinyl off, never got around to fitting a fresh sheet, so I gave the new owner a pre cuts one:)), maybe wrap the bottom lip aswell?, I may have a spare precut one lying around

Is this the one that blacks out the part immediately below the bottom grille?

Three-Nil so far!

I like chrome. But I own a RA and proud it's not an Evo.

BUT with your black vinyl bonnet I like the black.

If you stay chrome you need chrome window strips if you don't already I can't remember from when I saw your car last.

I've not voted btw as I'm in decisive pending above.

@Tomo: - Thanks!

@Tiff: - Thanks twice! :-)

@Jade: - Good call - I was in fact looking at the chrome lower window trims (and boot garnish), but now I'm thinking I might end up with too much chrome... (and now I'm thinking my alloys are a bit bright!)


Funny how those with chrome often do the blackout and those without 'chrome up'... straight hair / curly hair!

I like it without. Especially since the stupid LX has the 2 separate bits of chrome -______-
I've tried to go for the whole 'black, white and pink' thing and I think I've done pretty well so far :P

With blue there's not much else you can do though colour-wise. I think it would look best with everything blacked out (side indicators, headlights, tail lights, wheels, etc ;))

@Erin: - seems to be the popular opinion! (Should black out the centre-bottom of the bumper too, maybe...)

@ashley: - did I show you these?:
