Subtle but makes a big difference! Plus you can remove them when you get bored of it!!

Longest build time in history? Posts: 1,611 Group: Members Member #2 Joined: November 2, 2005	How about the blue that you's added already, plus the wing mirrors, and the impact strips on the front and rear bumper - you'd have to add decals too though to go the full race look. Other wise it has the potential to look like a boy racer poorly concieved chav saxo look.

The 16v kit definitely needs the contrast baseline, though colour-coded bumper strips can look great.
