      I like the black too, it really depends on the colour of the car, light colours and especially white don’t suit it as well, the darker the better. Having said that your car looks great, I’ve never seen that colour before.

      I have seen a few cars with them painted all one colour and they looked really well from the front, the rear and sides don’t though, just doesn’t look finished to me. It’s all down to personal taste in the end.

        Sorry its OEM black for me! I like your car the way it is. There will be too much green if you have it colour coded. And as Wab rightly points out you are going to be forever touching it up or getting annoyed with stone chips...

        Cheers,

              I do actually think the black adds something, somehow. Stay OE IMO

                        Colour coding

                        Vonbeck.

                        Definite improvement on a great colour by doing the full colour coding.
                        I'm not arty but the wheels seem better 'framed' and the car a more solid, aggressive look.
                        Lets see some pictures after please

                            Why? Surely if its painted properly it wont, RS2 is colour coded.
