Think I will go with the bright finish ones. Are they easy to fit? Do you just pull the old one off?

They look pretty easy to fix, Dan at Duckworths sent me the fitting guide, if i remember right its just a case of pulling it off, I'll have a look at posting it when I get home (not sure if you can post pdf's on here), if not if you want I can email them to you.

Thanks, I've had a look at the car and looks a straight forward job.

If anyone buys the bright finish ones and doesn't want the 2 rear sections i'll buy them...!

Not sure the illuminated ones are really worth £200+ and effort honestly unless you're really into it. They are nice but

The blue illumination would look fabulous on a blue car....

Do the bright finish come with parts for the rear? I thought it was just the 2 front tread plates you got. I assumed that was the reason the coupe tread plates were dearer than the 5 door (longer tread plates)

It's only the fronts with the OEM ones.

There are rear ones that come with a non OEM version from he who should not be mentioned...

Ahh, yes I know what you mean, I like the rear parts but not too sure about his tread plates, although, but £40 cheaper than Duckworths for 4 parts seems not too bad a price. I was going to ask him if he did the rear 2 on their own.
