Repainting the Bull-bars - mark_n - 06-11-2011 07:27am
After changing my car to Firenze, the one aspect which grates is the silver of the bull-bars, scuff-plates. I'm wondering whether to paint them black. Anyone else got similar ideas?

You could also consider wrapping them which would be reversible, cheaper and give you some matt options if that takes your fancy

Mark, if I was going down that route I would probably paint the bull bars (the U bits) body colour or to be extra striking a darker shade of Firenze - in both cases leave the kick plates black..... I think it would look very dramatic .... If anybody is handy with Photoshop maybe it could be visualised.

I was thinking about doing the "U" bit in the body color but how do u match the fuji color when using vinyl?

The shop should have different color shades of vinyl to fit your color choice. When I had my window sills on my XKR vinyl wrapped, the shop had different choices of black.....I went with flat black.
The shop emailed me a pic while they were installing the wrap:

This is the end result when they dropped off the car afterwards:

I had it painted a few weeks ago in gloss black to tie in with all the other Dynamic gloss black bits, looks way better.
