Beautiful and immense car, one of my all time favourites!
I personally don't mind the arch protectors but I guess if you were bothered you could get clear or body coloured ones instead of black?

Beautiful car - love my e46 m3 and the smg, cracked a paddle so will be getting the larger alloy ones. Bought a csl suede steering wheel and handbrake cover too and feels soooo much better than the leather!

I've ordered some clear vinyl for the arch protectors, I had the carbon look stuff left over from my Focus so used it as a trial and tbh I don't like it either so I'll be changing this weekend.
