Have added three more things to the car - yes folks can't help myself  :P. (1) Added chrome strip to the bottom of the rear door, its also practical stops chips and scratches when closing the door. I tend to close the door gently by holding my hand at the bottom of the door - no more finger marks or scratches. (2) Added door scuff mats to bottom of the doors. Always seem to get scuff marks and mud there when getting in and out of the car. (3) Spoiler/lip/trim thingy to the front of the car. Wanted a spoiler/trim to go on the front but not the big sporty type. Found this on ebay, its black rubber but can be painted yourself. Its stuck on with double sided tap, and it doesn't come off in a hurry. When I put the first couple of cms on I didn't like position so went to move it and it wouldn't budge. Got it moved with a bit of cussing and calling firetruck a couple of times. P.S. has anyone put the chrome style pedals in their cars? I like the look of them but worried that your feet might slip of the pedals with wet or slippery soles on your shoes.

I like the carpet kick strips on the doors.
Where did you get them from if you don't mind my asking?

Hi Kerwick, your new  bling looks great. I have the alloy sports pedals fitted and have not had any problems.

I got your PM about catching up in April. I look forward to meeting you AMD checking out all your bling. :D

The chrome strip for the rear door and the front lip are just what I intend to try. Would you pls advise the width of the chrome strip and where to buy these 2 items ? :thanks:

Damn that front bumper lip looks nice! I wonder what it does to the aerodynamics and the mileage. For under $50 CAD I could definitely get it.
