tough decision NG!
Both are pretty good!
Colour coded is always good IMO, but the black goes well with the roof and the stripes!
Nup, sorry.....no help from me.
Coin flip maybe?
Have them both and just change them once a fortnight?

harley you bastard shut up!

i would love that, but i think to get the arches sprayed & matched would cost a crap load.

actually i have no idea. I think around the 500 mark though?

cost wise for painting isnt as high as you would think. although that will depend on who does it, and the colours etc.

i wouldnt think more than $200-300.

Body coloured flares look the best IMO, looks like an S then. But yes I prefer the chrome over the flares as well.

i like the black, BUT only because you have a black roof and the black bonnet stripes.

Second pic definitely. First one has too much unnecessary bling on the side.

ok ill stick with the W&P for now.

I will get them arches that can take the chrome edge later on & spray the same colour.

I love the chrome edge look, really finishes off a mini.

thanks for the input!. :)

both are nice really. first one is more suitable if you are after original look,second one gives bit more modern touch. If it was my car, I would go with the second one.

Def the dark coloured flares. That works well with the roof and stripes.
