Hi guys.
I've just got hold of some spare arches with half a mind to colour coding them. I did a search, but most posts are from a couple of years ago, so I'm hoping there may be one or two more DS owners who have colour coded their arches since then. If you have any pics, I'd love to see them.

I've seen pics of EB, red, IB and LY with colour coded bits and they all look fantastic, but for some reason, to my eye anyway, DS doesnt seem to look as good colour coded. Any thoughts on this?

Anyway, pics of colour coded DS would be great, thanks for the help

Aero side skirts look the best colour coded, not sure about standard S skirts...

okay, i think i'm going to have to stand corrected here, those do look well, I have to admit. Makes the gap between the arches and the wheels more obvious though, looks like I'll have to go with the 18s and eibachs too, damn!!!

There is one dominant truth about mini ownership - your wallet will never see eye-to-eye with your car!!

Go for it!

I've had mine colour coded as well.
I actually thought it made the gap in my wheel arch look smaller.

Have a look at my gallery and see what you think.

Check out my MCS gallery. DS/W chrome with aero kit.

thanks for the replies guys, have to admit, it does look very smart. guess it was just the photos i was looking at. still not 100% convinced it makes the gap look less, but as im almost definitely going with the 18s and eibachs, that won't make much difference. Both cars look great there, and it's also nice to see ds/w too- gives me an even better idea...

thanks
