The only colour options currently available are the standard chrome and champagne. so any thing else will be either sprayed or wrapped.

I had mine sprayed the same colour as the car Nero black but a white RCZ looks better with the same colour as the roof.

My arches where removed from the car, sprayed and refitted by the dealer.

The car was also debadged and centre caps on the wheels sprayed black to match the black wheels.

That was my first option.

Painting the arches is the best way. On the edge of the arches is a rubber seal which can not be removed as it is moulded into the arches.

You can peel it downwards about 3mm which you can paint but not enough for the wrapping to stick too.

Its alot of work to do only to find the wrapping to come off, plus it will not be the same colour as your car.

Hi slobby

After having it done made the car look completly different.

Best £300.00 I have spent on the car.

Totally agree with you Slobbly, need your front badge spraying now.

Best money I spent on a mod.

Interesting look - but I think you loose one of the main features of the car which makes it stand out, you say it makes it individual but now it's just a coupe. On a white car you can just about get away with it especially with a black roof.

Each to their own
