id wait till u get sum sorta kit before u get the black arches etc colour coded. cos i saw an sxi the toher day with the arches and tops of bumpers colour coded and it didnt look right! lol... it made the car look really bubbly.
if ur getting a front spoiler (irmscher, JMS , JC design etc..) then get the black bits colour coded.
heres a pic of ma car when it had the reiger front and reiger rear on it.

A bit of colour coding and strip removal makes a big difference...... will have to go down the bodyshop on monday and ask how much they want to remove the badges from the back and the door strips.
So you think I should keep the SXi badge on the side or get that taken off too??

Did mine today, it's a Corsa B tho. Followed advice seen on here ie. hairdryer to heat em up then peel them off, used white spirit to clean up all the glue, washed it then t-cut it. But ive still got a white stripe down the side of my car! Do I just have to keep on t-cutting it? It's not glue, its the actual paintwork. Got a pic can sum1 post it up?

rear badges just pulled off (well some had fallen off) and the side strips i just peeled off very slowly u could use a heat gun that would help but as they were new on they came off pretty easy.
