the rubbing strips on a 16v kit (the upper part of the side mouldings) should they be / do they look better colour coded?
I've always thought they look better black with a black rear spoiler but now I'm not sure, I still think a black spoiler is better than a CC job

This is a 'purely personal taste' issue and one is not 'better' than the other, but as you ask I prefer black.... but most importantly which do YOU prefer?

I don't know, on one hand I think that they can look dated in black, but on the other I think the black breaks up the colour.
I think I'll go colour coded for now, as I'm doing the pillars black, then I can always redo the strips black if it looks abit much.
On another note, my 16v rear spoiler has a pair of rubber pads that sit between it & the glass, they are quite badly cracked, I have tried the main dealers but they say I'd have to order 5 or something daft. Can I get these anywhere else? does GSF or ECP do them?
I went to peugeot & they rekon its part of the spoiler kit on the 306 so cannot order them seperatly

My taste
Wilkobob had an all white zx sx R-reg with colour coded bump strips with red lining, the red lining never looked right.
He removed the lining so all white and it just didnt look right still.
I think black bump strips dont look good on a white zx
However that dark green with black strips complement each other well.
Oh and my zx tempation r-reg is silver with colour coded strips but with the silver alloy strip which complemented it well also.[/b]
