Yes you do the plastic trims are gray, not black

(piccies from same wheelarch, before and after)

More on topic, ace looking machine you got there.

If you use back to black on the black trim & then try to get them painted , the paint reacts bigtime.So if your planing the colour code beware.

Although this is true, I think the NHB works better than the other colour with non-painted trim.

Also the glass roof blends in better in NHB.

I have recently spoken to a local body shop, they said they might not be able to colour code the trim due to the finish. They would have to remove the finish, by hand and could not a guarantee a perfect finish when painted.

Any suggestions on getting the trim colour coded. Thanks

According to the bodyshop that done the work for me, they primed the trim and then sanded it to a smooth finish and then painted them.
It's not a completely flat and perfect finish in all places on the trim, but it looks pretty good, even close up.

My dealer painted my trim without sanding,remove,paint and refit.
Four months on,no problems.
Hope this helps Martin.

Do you not worry it would just peel off? Say you got a chip or something?
