Default Carbon or Black
Cant decide what type of splitter to put on my 3dr.

whether to put a carbon one on or a normal black item.

Anyone seen a carbon one a on a white 3dr?

Cheers

I know white and carbon look good, but unsure with the splitter as everyone associates them with being black so might look odd.

no thats the thing dont think i've ever seen a carbon splitter on a white 3dr.

loads of black ones and a moonstone and they look awesome, but unsure if it will match the white.

I know on mike carbon the carbon escort bits look the business, but its just the fact i've never seen a carbon one on a 3dr thats putting me off a tad.

it would be original i guess, but that could be for a reason

i'd say black on a white 3dr however you have to remember the rims your fitting may just make the carbon go really well.

Thats not really helped at all has it

Who cares, just get it finished and get some use out of it, then worry about finishing touches later on
