Dechroming

Hey Guys,

 

So I'm looking at dechroming my Fiesta and I've decided to get the chrome wrapped however I'm unsure on whether to get it wrapped black or go for a cheeky red colour as I'm not sure if the red would look nice or not! What do you guys think? 

 

Thanks in advance!

    Personally I love chrome I'm an old guy compared to young studs on here...lol

    It's a black 2011 I've seen others dechromed and they look better in my opinion of course!

    The only 1 thing I've currently de-chromed is the boot lift trim (took me months to find the panel, but was worth it):

    Yes Stu, but fitting loads of chrome will only make a car look cheesy, pillars can only be found in the USA though

    Sorry Ian I should have said its for a friend who mentioned ages ago about chrome door handles..

    My car is the same as yours a Titanium, so has enough (personally think just the right amount) chrome on it as it is...

    Thanks again

    Believe it or not, I have thought about doing red along the chrome (sides of doors) - but yet to do it. Hmmmm! (Min'es a Frozen White btw)  I've already got some red pin stripe detailing too on front and rearlarge.gallery_62796_1676_169011.jpg
