Title: Yes or Nono
Post by: tzwientjuh on January 03, 2009, 15:12:23: I think the chrome for the tailights are cool ... but the side mirror covers not so much. I searched if I can get the chrome tail thingies seperate. But they cost to much, so I think it's beter in pairs with the side mirror covers.

What do you guys think?

I quite like the Chrome Mirrors but not the light surrounds so much... I don't mind the chrome door handle covers on some colours of i30 (but probably not on my colour)

Post by: tzwientjuh on January 03, 2009, 22:57:23: tzwientjuh likes the tail light covers
Dazz likes the side mirror covers
Hemmi likes no chrome

Still thinking ... should I get them? :)
I have a vivid blue i30 and my side mirrors are black plastic. (basic version :-[)

Post by: simon on January 04, 2009, 07:41:27: If anything, I'd consider the carbon fibre look... but not chrome.

Post by: tzwientjuh on January 04, 2009, 12:21:44: Are there carbon fibre covers? It probably costs alot more then the chrome ones

But I'm also intrested in the chrome tail light covers because there is a small piece missing from my right tail light. Due to an accident way back (not my fault, see the forums :p) My car is fine just the little piece missing, and the chrome cover would probably cover it :)

Post by: tzwientjuh on January 05, 2009, 12:18:43: Is that possible? Just painting the covers wich are made of plastic? It probably costs more ...

Post by: bumpkin on January 05, 2009, 13:20:58: Yes, it would need to be polymerized paint, the same as is used for bumpers and bodykits which would cost a bit more.
