Get colourcoded bumpers, don't do the arches or bumper tops, debadge, and paint the handles on the doors and boot.

Ok here i only colour coded the bottom part of the bumper. I actually like this. Not sure which is better.

The red is a little out but it still looks ok.

Here is the back bumper done. (again done quite quick and rough)

I think i might actually try and take the bumpers off tomorrow and start to paint them.

What do you think ?

Mav, are these what you are talking about ?

If so are alloys easy to paint ? I'm guessing it needs special paint or something ?
