I think they need the black bits to remain black for them to look good! Our Java black one has wee bits changed - handles smoothed and sprayed to match the paintwork (so from dull black to metalic black)

I.e I think the second one there looks crap beacause of the white skirts and valances

See one very similar to this locally, whatever they have done to the bumpers where they meet the arches makes it looks mean as hell but a tiny bit tacky at the same time.

White RR is either for WAG's or perma-tanned pretty boys that run cocaine for drug dealers.

I havent seen many White RRS in Aberdeen. A couple full fat ones I think.

They can look "footballer" for me. But you are right the Rr is a beast.

I mention cherokee for value btw as for the price they are cheap as chips. Get quite a new low mile one compared to RR etc although obviously not the same quality or appeal
