Side Strips on a Yellow Corrado

[CoxyLaad 0]

My car is going in to get the paint work sorted out, and i am in a dilema as to whether to ditch the black side strips or not. Any thoughts?

 

My only concern is that the side strips break the colour up. I fear it may be 'too' yellow without anything down the sides?

 

Plus I am Mr factory looking and the strips are as VW intended.

 

What do you guys think?

Personally I'd keep them, as you say yourself it breaks up the colour a bit, but I think its a personal preference thing, so go with what you feel yourself.

keep 'em, like you say it breaks up the yellow. some colours look better without and some look better with.

the thing is I cant find any decent pictures of yellow corrados to base my opinion on. Anyone got any good examples of pics with the side strips and without?

wow.

I have struggled to find any nice pictures of a yellow corrado (yellow corrados seem to be not very photogenic), but that is lush!

 

What I might do is remove the strips and keep them, then if it doesnt look right I can always fit them later.

 

Got any more info on that one then?

take them off for paint you can always put then back on if you don't like it that way

I have to say I think the choice of wheel makes a massive difference to the look of a yellow corrado. The LMs are gorgous.

 

I dont know why but I think it draws your attention to the wheels

Cheers Rob, I think I will do as you say and keep them 'just in case'

There is such a contrast between the yellow and the black that the alignment has got to be absolutely spot-on or it sticks out like a sore thumb, unlike with a dark paint colour, where a very slight mis-alignment is concealed.

 

I tend to be wary of removing factory fitted bits, and the strips most definitely save you from the carelessness of some of our fellow citizens.

 

Best wishes

If you need to keep the side strips on the car you could always just get them colour coded.

there was a yellow corrado g60 (i think) lowered nicely with the number plate recess cut out feeding an intercooler. There was a site with loads of pictures on and you could search by car type and colour, I think it was on there.

Somebody help me out!
