Do you recommend doing the colour coding? I know you've done it, How durable is it?

yeah man, i think the black plastic looks hideous and really lets the 9n down!

mine's still fine and i did it nearly a year ago, only took me a day to do the whole lot too

Cheers dude :) I'm looking at doing it but don't want to pay body shop prices, what do you recommend? Plastic filler primer or just normal primer and a tad bit off filler? Because I would like them smooth. :)

good luck getting them smooth! you'll be fillering for ages and will probably get it all over your paintwork... if you're that worried probably best to pay a bodyshop to do it aha

you will need a good couple of coats of plastic primer to get the paint to adhere

Okay man, yeah I'm after the smooth look tbh just because of the shine in the sun light looks awesome and I wouldn't want to rewin that with shiny bump strips that aren't smooth ahah. Thanks tho man, appreciate it. :)

excuse how dirty she is and that the lacquer is still wet on the rear arches, but the polo finally got some decent stance! :p

just ordered some vinyl for the roof and some fly eye tint for the front and rear lights :D

also ordered some led side light bulbs as my blue side lights which are meant to show white light would struggle to compete with a small candle! aha

Looks wicked mate, rear sits sooo nice. Simple & effective

Looks wicked mate, seriously love this. So mean with the smooth bumper and tinted lights.
