Jason would the blenders and the plate area been painted the same colour as the van or would it have been black... straight from the factory?

Hi Kev

Wow!!! looking good fella, I must admit if you want opinions then the all black looks the dogs, the ones with the lighter edges and surrounds look at little too americanised if you know what I mean (no offence Lloyd), however I'm sure that if you went to the trouble of doing the job in the first place then others opinions are irrelevant as its your bus at the end of the day.

I wouldnt want them to look to removed from the van. So for me it would have to keep some of the white to blend in in keeping with the white on the roof that you cant see in the pictures.

Hi Kev,

as we all know, all us girlies want to know when we go car shopping is "does it come in red / yellow etc etc" .

I likes the one with the white detailing around the plate and the lights, with black blenders. Matches the white bits elesewhere on your van.

Well done - it looks good. John will be drooling and jealous!!
