Default vy with 18" and chroming around windows and an annoying noise question

hi guys posted ages ago after i got the vy lowered just thought id pop an update on here got some new 18's yesterday and put some chrome around the windows only pic i got is a wierd angle one i use as pic on my phone will get a better one up tommorow but for now what you guys think??

ps i chucked a before photo on as well

also a question for you all i have a wierd clicking noise coming from my front left strut when you turn or even very lightly wiggle the steering is very loud and annoying any idea what it might be very loud inside and outside the car ( i jacked it up and took the wheel of the other day wiggled the spring in its seat and seemed to quiet it down for 2 or 3 days then back to normal)

ok better photos on now.

chrome is the easiest job you can do to a car took no joke 5 minutes to do just bought 2 rolls of chrome stripping from super cheap or autobarn $19.99 a roll just peel the backing off and stick

i honestly think it looks better than the real stuff just make sure you get the right packet there is heaps of different sizes the one you use is the smallest one and also the cheapest one and it has to have a flat back they also sell one that has a lip on the back that you wont see with out looking very carefully (i should know i got one normal and one with the lip so had to go back and change it lol)
