to each their own but Ill never understand why people do this. audi designers have the right idea and thats part of why I bought mine anyway.

Looks as though you missed a bit along the door.

What's the wingspan on that beauty?...

Inventive it's not as if it's permanent if you get fed up with it ye just remove it simple
I do like the bit surrounding the grill looks far better and gives the satin chrome grill more focus

 

[Snake Pliskin]

Defo approve.

I don't mind chrome on the areas you have left untreated but really don't like it on the window capping at all and looks good with the grille surround in black too.

Looks spot on !

Looks tons better! The chrome look is proper 1980s...

Isn't it good that we all don't like the same things!
Personally I'm all for chrome.

This thread brought a tear to my eye........................what did that lovely chrome do to deserve this??!!

That US grille is so much nicer than ours, love the black surround against the glacier, looks awesome

when the base colour of your car is the same as your washing machine, you have to do these little things to dress it up, when you have a colour like daytona grey metallic pearl, the chrome looks right . . .

Chrome looks great when shiny, but wait till yours goes milky white. As others have said it should have stayed in the eighties, u don't see many performance cars with Crome trim on at all. I wonder why that is

You got a link to the 3m tape mate? Can you buy it for a direct fit?
