i do like those wing mirrors with the lights though.. Laughing ... - .- -.

i painted mine with the halfords BMW titanium, used a grey printer spray paint to cover the old brunel paint. Looks really good now, paint applied really well.

The reason behind colour coding my bonnet panel Stan was because if you do one bit black, where do you stop? Will that one bit look odd compared with the other brunel/titanium bits? Hence colour coding it Thumbs Up

I have the same dilema now with the silver car... It's the last bit of brunel left and im stuck between colour coding and gloss black Whistle

I'm with Craig - matching the body colour is the way to go, particularly on a red car Very Happy Geoff

Just be careful when removing the washer jets as the water supply pipes snap off ever so easily Thumbs Up

You will need to replace the plastic clips that hold the rubber pipes to the underside of the bonnet as they will almost certainly snap when you remove them chaps Thumbs Up
