Does anyone know when I can see any focus pictures with the factory mudguards. I bought a set of the moulded ones and I'm still deciding whether I'm going to paint it body colour or leave it black. I have a silver sedan.

I've never see painted ones.
I think that would look trick.

I think that even with a flex additive, the paint would eventually seperate from the plastic and chip off.
I think it would look cool, until that started to happen....

I've got some (roughly) Sangria Red Dupli-Colour, but I don't think it would look quite right. Silver might be easier to match, but then again there's the aforementioned chipping :)

It kind of depends on how soft/flexible they are as to how well the paint is going to stay. No matter what, paint will only flex a limited amount before it cracks. If they're fairly rigid and you dont bump anything with them or bottom out and scrape/flex them the paint should stay alright.

I finally decided to keep them black. I put them on the car today. they look really nice. I might stick to the black and silver look for my car.
