Thoughts on Alloy Window Trim

What do people think of these?

Got a couple that need replacing due to bubbling and not sure if to get these, just not sure how they would look.

I think it's down to what colour your car is.
Don't think it looks good in the pictures. Thats my opinion though.

The trims will still continue to corrode under the chrome covers.

How much to replace all trims with OEM black? If cheaper one can always paint black if you don't like the chrome look.

As long as you stay away from the pillar and side vent chrome, I don't think they look too bad. .

The chrome pillars are just the wost thing ever.

The weatherstrip at the top of the door panels though, I quite like, and would look nice on a dark coloured car.

But then I once had a 735i with chrome there, and always wanted the black.......

Never satisfied !!

Shocked That's the only other FFRR I have seen that looks the same as mine... Silver, sidesteps, the bumpers on the doors and light guards all round. I took my rears off recently as they went rusty. As much as I want a black one, I do like my silver one. Previously..
