    It's your car.
    For mine, I'll be reconditioning the black trim. I like it. I think it makes my car stand out in a sea of monochromatic cars and it highlights the beltline.

This way, you can see if you like the new color scheme, and if you don't, just peel off the Monocote film to restore the original color.
    That's actually a really good idea, might work well for a DIY shadowline as well.

    If you decide to paint them then I would go with euro trim first. To me that first pic looks bad with the side marker lights in the white trim.

    I like the monochromatic look.

    BTW, what are those small dark semicircles under the lens in the ellipsoid headlights?

    Those are the European ellipsoid smileys, I believe.

    The silver car in the picture originally posted by 'Qube' has the trim body colored, at least the front bumper trim that is.
