    Default Bumpers, Green or Black!

    Just in the process of painting up my engine bay and thought well, the bumpers have fair share of stone chips,marks etc so i was wondering what people would think would look best, they started out black and then green.
    im thinking maybe going too gloss back with a small amount of green matellic flake through it, what do you think!

    Keep them green or do them like a Calais in silver but not black or you won't get noticed it will look like a stock standard executive. Take TUFCAB for example it looks like a taxi who would want that?

    Not meant 2 offend anyone but that's just not my taste, however people may not like my car either lol. Soz bad example but i just saw a clean VN go by my work 2day and it had black bumpers and all my coworkers comment on how stock it looked where i saw the other things it had.

    Black bumpers FTW, but not on your car, it wouldnt suit, that is a weird colour did it come out stock like that, i have never seen a VN that colour before.

    Definently keep the green man. Thats my vote anyways. Seems to make the tail lights stand out alot more. If that makes any sense,

    I was just about to type that agree 100%. On ,white red (flat or pheonix) or yellow VN you must have (un painted) bumpers. Hard to say how it would look on the light metallic green but I think either way would be ok but it wont look so stunning as it does on the flat colours
