To be honest the more I look at it it does not look that bad, I bet it looks nicer in real life! If your changing the colour of your car and few interior bits it will come together keep it up!

Hi,
I guess you have a slightly alternative preference to styling a car compared to that of the majority the of users on here.
However, amber corners, green bonnet and number plated relocated would be a lot more fresh.

i like the tinted corners, but the amber corners came off because someone snapped the clips on the back and they were hanging off(would like some smoked amber though)
gonna be getting jap plates soon, but it staying in centre coz i think they look naf on the side.
but why a green bonnet, do you mean body coloured bonnet, if so no point as car will be getting painted.
and true i prob do have different styling ideas, they dont all have to look the same

Chris no offence dude but I see the black bonnets and smoked side lights all the time, imo just looks shit & chavvy.
Get rid of them now, go out to your car, take them off. Get the bonnet resprayed and ive got a set of clear foggies in my garage you can have for free, obv you pay postage but for Christ sake the image you are going for is not cool at all.
