Although the garnish itself looks great, it strongly reminds me of a VN commie... :

No offence intended, as it really does look good!

mate painted everything so didnt really pay much at all...dunno how much it'd cost to get painted normally but i just gave him a 50 to paint handles and garnish but he bogged but the garnish and prep'd everything so i didnt do much! hehe

Yeh i knew alot of people thort i'd look like the VN but hey i was just trying something different and i dont think it looks that much VN if ya kno what i mean : i was originally goin to paint the numberplate surrounds bit black but i dont think that would of worked in as well as color-coded ;) plus...it was too much extra effort! haha

Looks good. Colour coded garnishes look dodgy on many different colour cars, but it looks great on your car

God DAMN!

I had this garnish project in mind awhile ago.

I thought it was a very original idea and now someone's pulled it out from behind me and done it. *shakes fist in anger*

Oh well, If I get some money together and do this project you can't say that I copied you. Mwahahaha.
