I like it. It seems to blend in with the colours of your car and doesnt stand out as much IMO. It also makes it that little bit more unique compared to standard.
I think the black stripes and some dark tints would make your car look slick! A bit of lowering so that the guard sink into the rims a bit more and it would just be about perfect.
Like i always say:
The car is yours mate. If you like it go for it!

yeah it will suit the black and blue theme that i have already started with the car,

lowering will happen one day lol, probably once i fix the gearbox and diff. and yeah some limo tint should be on the cards aswell.

at least this is a cheap mod that will keep me satisfied for a couple of weeks lol.

Looks good, will tie in with the black wheels nicely. Like you said, it's cheap and easy, so why not.

I kinda like the contrast it has currently, although the black doesn't look too bad it just makes the car seem "all dark" if that makes any sense.
