Nah dont like them
You need a fine balance of chrome on a car but that is just OTT

I don't mean to be rude, particularly, but those are both erm... not for me.

It's not even that I'm THAT averse to chrome (I'm pretty anti-chrome, though), it's just that the designs are so without tact or style that it's hard to see why anyone would attach them to a car. It'd be like chroming half the door, then just kinda laming out, half way through.

Sorry.

ps: I think I'd have a completely different opinion about the full-chrome arches, if the whole arch was chromed. Breaking it up at the bumpers utterly destroys the effect, and makes it look like a really incomplete kit.

Again another chrome fan here , but I wouldn't choose either , they detract from the cars good looks.

I loooove chrome but the arches would look better painted to match the car.

The whole world is buzzing about the MINI!

Talking Domestic Appliance Spin Off?

Was design 1 levered off the front of a Candy washing machine? It looks familiar.

Go the whole hog and chrome the sills too. This will make a good match with the "big" chrome arches. Change the paint colour to silver and fit chrome alloy wheels. Now the car wil be looking too monochrome, so try painting the roof a deep red, possibly burgundy.

PS All matt black plastic will need to be chromed.
