Did you also paint the door trims a darker colour ?

Cheers! :)

Not yet but that will be one of the next things.
Not just the door trim, but all the Chrome sections & the section behind the front number plate!

Did you paint your rims or have them done ?
They look real good thinking of painting mine now. Haha

Had them done professionally! Shop near me do a fantastic job, was recommended & I can see why. Could never tell the mess they were in before.

They're the factory alloys but refurbished & repainted, this time in Black.
Would like to get a new set but I do actually like the factory alloys so didn't see the need to change them.

Go for it man, gives the car a new lease of life & in my case once I do some other things it'll look a lot better.

Heard knocking on the rear of the car for some time now, ended up being the D-Bushes which were completely worn.
So had them replaced & the rear anti roll bar links as well.

Perfect excuse to fire in some new springs in the process. Didn't want it too low but just a little bit more to give it a meaner stance & I feel it does that. Hasn't badly affected the ride either, so that is a win win I feel! :)

Nice looking car. I like the black-out on the dark grey paint. I wish I could keep mine looking as clean and pristine.

Cheers, the blackening of the chrome sections was a test and I like the results. So I need to go back now & redo it but better as some of it started peeling due to the way it was masked.

Rest of the badges & the front grill need to be done next time as well to give it the full effect! :)

So sad to see the changes made to your car now. It looked so good when you first got it, dark colored body with the bright silver wheels and chrome accents. Even the window air deflectors looked good. Now it just looks like another dark blob moving down the road. So disgusting how deranged stylist have corrupted the car market.
