Mmmm colour coding not for me. I like the contrast of the coloured bumpers & reflectors or fog light surrounds

I don't like maintaining the plastics so the more colour coding the better for me, but yes you can do too much, I think front fog surrounds and rear reflectors is probably enough and still looks factory.
I wouldn't mind the carbon upper grill and lower surround, think would look good as the black carbon would better match the rest of the plastics on the side of the car which are black, whereas front items and rear lower bumper are grey.
But the carbon jobbies are lottery money

Oooooh those "cf" (cant bring myself to call them carbon fibre hehe) items are rotten.. I think they look horrid. I dont do anything to maintain the plastic on my car apart from a smallllll application of Black Wow maybe once or twice a year which keeps it looking fresh

I've got some Black Wow and it's nowhere near the claimed "wow" factor.
One day I will do the job properly and clean the bumpers, strip all the product off, wash and dry and then try the Wow again.
Back to Black all the way.

I might in the summer, just thought that to much black would be overkill on a black car.

Cheers! i think it would look good too , the black makes it stand out more plus also makes the car look cleaner even when dirty for some reason. but as steve said, gotta be careful on the old stone chips on the bottom. had mine sprayed bout 2 months ago now but so far it has remained mint
