I personally think trim around the bumper lips look tacky.

I have seen it on another car somewhere and thought it looked quite good, I believe it was on the front though

i think it was on the yellow britax mini, it had it on both front and back if i remember correctly.....

[jpw1275]

problem is you need the lip covered without a bumper and i dont want it lipless.....maybe black trim would look better

cheers for the comments

Black trim might look bit better, I too didn't want the bumper (front though) so just de bumpered it and I love the look of the front now

Britax Mini (not the real one)

 

And the back

how does that look tacky?????

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so do what you want.

[minidaves]

you dont need to put any trim on the edge as its a factory edge not a rusty 1, also you had better get the welder put where you have cut that edge away, as you have removed half the spot welds

[Artful Dodger]

Yeah that does look cool, just take a few goes to get it right and looking good:).


For a retro look if keep bumpers for use and fit overriders!!

Each to their own mate, I think it does. Same as the side strips, I just hate chrome lol
