Colour code the bump strips

[ell0070]

I'm not sure about the lower bumper bits. Personally, i'll probably do the bump strips and then lower the car a bit, and see how that looks. I'll have a play with photoshop when i get a chance and see if i can do the bumpers.

I think the bumpers as well as the strips look really good!! Had a little go on photo shop and looks great.

Can you post the pics? Wouldn't mind having a look.

Right, Think you can see you pics now? sorry if the photoshop work is a bit untidy but you get the idea? I first pic is how i want it to look and the second is how it is now. Some new 18" wheels ans i think it will look like a new car!! What do you think?

its quite good! i prefer if the door strip were left but colour coded, i liked bumpes destriped and flsuhed! looks quite good

 

[danieltm]

I was just going to have it all colour coded leave all the strips on coz i think its too much work to take them off? But it would look better with flush bumpers now you said it. What is under the bump strips on the bumpers? Is it something that would need to be filled?

i think colour coding the strips is more "individual" anyway

why buy an older shape Leon to only then try and make it look like the newer Leon....might as well have bought the newer Leon in the first instance

I agree, i toyed with the cupra fr bumpers, but even a non genuine front worked out at 230 quid, so coding its going to be, and i have decided on graphite wheels, but the standard ones

nice idea with the wheels but personally i feel the standard wheels are too small and need at least 17's on
