I don't recall anybody deliberately trying to offend Mr 20619d. There is a difference between directly abusing somebody and simply criticising what they have done to a car.

If I had that much money to spare I wouldn't be spending it on the car, believe me!

I've got a W reg three door GLX in this exact colour. Try colour coding your mirror caps. Also, remove the black B pillar vinyl, looks so much better in my opinion. Consider a debadge too. (Do the B pillar and debadge at same time, both are similiar techniques, hairdryer and soap!)

Wind deflectors can look pretty good on the 5 door.

GLX_laney - How did you do this? Did you colour them yourself of did you find wing mirrors in the same colour somewhere? If you painted them, where did you get the paint from? Do you have any pictures of what your car looks like now?
Wind deflectors are a good idea, was actually thinking about getting them. Where would be the best / cheapest place to get them I wonder?

The wing mirrors were already done out of the factory as far as i'm aware mate. Sorry to be no help! I'd imagine it would be a simple sand/prime/sand/prime/sand/spray/lacquer etc?
Can anyone help us out?
