Upgrade Vents Handles Mirrors?

I know this has been discussed umpteen times but....

I was going to get handle covers as mine looking a bit tatty, and like the black ones. Then thought perhaps i should do the mirror covers too.

Looking at the car, i thought it might look a bit odd with the grey vents, and am now thinking of upgrading them to the black and silver supercharged ones - and doing the front grill with the "lookalike" black and silver supercharged front grille with the cutout over the front lights.

Would then top it off with black and silver badges front back and wheels.

Am i mad? It will cost me about £400 and don't want to end up with the car looking daft - although i can always convert it back.

Will it end up looking half-baked? Particularly worried about the front grille with the wipers and that my 18" wheels will not look right?

Hi Joker

What do you recommend with the headlight wipers?

powerfuluk say you can remove them or move one notch up (?looks bit odd) or think i remember reading you can cut them shorter?

If you removed them - what happens with the wash wipe? Suppose you couls aim the jet at the pavement or car in front for added entertainment! Laughing

Do you have the front rectangle grille just now or the actual cut out headlight shaped ones

I've got the original brunel grey rectangular one. I'm not too sure about the upgrade modern look one.

It looks good in the photos but never seen in for real....

I've looked at a few of your pics on your gallery too - I really like the look. The side vents i've looked at are the 2006 black and silver supercharged vents (i think).

I like yours better - but can get these ones for half the price.
