ok so i started some small mods on my 5dr corsa recently, and today i thought i'd have a pop at removing the rub strips after the other debadging went so well.

long story short - turns out the rear door has been resprayed at some point in its life and the paint underneath the rubstrip is a darker shade than the rest of my star silver car. so far i've only removed the front passenger rubstrip and half of the rear rubstrip on the same side (left)
my question issss, do i:

a) respray the whole door ($$$)
b) stick both rubstrips back on n forget about it
c) run around like a headless chicken and panic

t-cutting won't do it cause the paint beneath the rubstrip is smoke grey instead of star silver lol
