Must be my age but I love the chrome finish trim.

Probably is lol.
I like chrome on classic cars and do think on the right car it adds a bit of class, but feel on a dark GT the black trim makes it look more aggressive and modern.

My current one above has the black from factory, but my previous one had chrome. The bit round the windows was just too much for me, so blacked it out. See below before and after.

Mine in factory spec as well- carbon everything. I’m planning on painting the side vents black as well as the chrome trim on the boot.

If you are going to do anything to smoke the lights, makes sure it’s reversible - the headlights in particular are very expensive to replace

Sam - Looking at your “after” picture, I think you should black your door handle as well. Just a thought.

I'm gonna do the boot trim, but like the vents chrome on a black car or they get lost. However, I agree on your red one it would ace.

I'm not in the business, was my first job! All of it is stuck in my mind. Probably need top trackers and rollers greasing, same with the lattice.

What's the process for this? Mine is chrome, and thinking I prefer the black after looking at your pictures.
