United-Kingdom Anyone out there colour codes their S ???

Has anyone out there colour coded their Cooper S (ie had the arches/skirts and bottoms of bumpers painted the same colour as the car ??).

does it look good or naff ??

my car is in the paint shop today to have a scratch done on the rear bumper and the paint shop manager suggested it....

If any one has any photos, preferably in red, could you please post here..

I had my EB S colour coded before I picked it up!

IMHO it improves the look of the car 10 fold! Against a standard EB S it looks much better!

Cost me £350 from the dealer, Green Bower in Haverfordwest (west wales)!

I had mine done couple of months ago,DS,I think it looks good ( i would say that wouldnt I !)
Dont have any pics but not met anyone who has said they didnt think it looks better.

Dealers in London all qouting £1500 to do the work ,so the guy in Wales got a real bargain,I had mine done in a local paint shop for £300

There's actually been quite a few people who've done it and in almost all the cases I've seen it's improved the looks.
