Modify your car to your taste, not so that people on a forum can categorise your modifications and tell you that you can't do something because it's not in the right style.

I prefer scuttles to be a different colour to the rest of the panels on the car Satin black is a lot better than bare plastic - especially if you paint the roof rails on the car the same colour, and maybe even the wheels...

thanks ed

thining of keeping it black now because it will match all the window rubbers and the black edgeing around the windows,and its an accent colour that sets off the blue
