I think the colored center caps a must! Pop of classy color that ties in to hood emblem.

I've been on the fence, but have to agree with you on this one.

Oh, I think they are a very cheap must have option that class it up...although even if you don’t get, I believe it’s something you can add after the fact.

I prefer making these two black, however, by doing so, I think it will clash if I choose aluminum window trim.


All Aventurine Green are lovely, please keep them coming!
Yes, left the model designation in silver which pops like the window trim in bright daylight. Interested to see one in black.
This photo was taken at dusk.
Good luck

I had the same problem, not a biggy.

Go to your local auto paint factor and by a couple of ounces of base coat. Apply with a cocktail stick into the middle of the chip and walk away from it for a day. Dont get too big a drip!

Hey presto.

Make sure the chip is clean and dry. Dont apply too much, better to have to do it twice than get a run.

A large component of the paint will evaporate when it dries, so dont worry about a slight bulge when you apply it, it will sink.

Dont worry about the fact it is a 2 pack paint and you are not mixing in the catalyst. It goes off anyway with little dabbs like this.

You can use a hairdryer to speed things up a bit if you want.

I spent my misspent youth working in body shops.

If you happen to be a picky ant looking at the repair you will notice something maybe. Really though it is just about invisible.

Total cost £20.

So sorry for that. I have used Dr. Colorchip in the past with other cars and it works well. Check it out on YouTube.
