Boot lower trim was matte or satin. On my black saloon I had it done body coloured, it was a black car. Looked smart.
No matter where you go, there you are.
Re: Black optics pack
Oh was it satin? From the pics I’ve seen the grills looked shiny so I presumed gloss, damn I just sprayed the lower trim glossbam_bam wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 2:17 pmI knew none of the optics being gloss on the C5 (plus or otherwise).ZedRS6 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 1:07 pmHi folks

Do you know if it was the whole grill was in satin or just the surrounding?

Re: Black optics pack
You got a picture? I wouldn't worry too much if it looks good.

Re: Black optics pack
Doesn't really matter what you paint, it's not a genuine Plus so just do what you feel looks good in what colour you like.

Re: Black optics pack
Plus or not it’s irrelevant, people like the look of the black optics (me included) so want it to look the same hence the finish is quite important
Re: Black optics pack
Do YOU prefer gloss or Matt wrap?

Re: Black optics pack
Personally, with a black car, I'd colour-code all items except the roof rails and the window surrounds. I'd make the latter two gloss or satin black.

Re: Black optics pack
So is the Rs6+ all satin finish?
