Looks

I'm pretty sure you can still get the right colour rivots for the body kit [well I did for my Series 2 last year]....might be a better option than trying to colour code the silver ones!

The white rivets are plastic and designed to break before the kit does, I had metal ones on mine before and the kit will break before them when put under any pressure.

Car looks excellent by the way.

White rivets are still available if you know where to look.
