Taken winter wheels off and put on summertyres with new alloys. I have kept to the same size(18"),as the original tyres still have plenty of life left in them.I may go up to 19" or 20" at a later date.

Colour-coding the lower body trim sounds like a good idea,as I have noticed that (whilst replacing the wheel arch protectors)that the wheelarches are starting to rust.It's not serious yet, but getting it all done in one go would be beneficial.

The previous owner fitted colour coded handles and mirror to ours. I don't know anything about it myself, whether they were a kit or a bodge, but it looks like the mirrors have coloured coded caps stuck on them. Not sure if it's modified mirror casing from a late model, or a kit |

They're probably stick-ons.That's exactly what I'm looking at.I've seen some online that appear to be of good quality, but I am a little concerned about the long-term durability. |

I got my full size stick on mirror covers from powerfuluk online. Seem to be good quality abs lasting with 3m tape and silicon glue to fix them. So far doing good.

That's the company I was thinking of, but wasn't sure if I could name them on here.Which do have,colour-coded or chrome?I have also looked at their rear LED lights. |

Without wishing to denigrate Powerful UK in any way, I bought a pair of perfect condition LED rears for less than 1/2 their price from an ebay LR parts supplier. Very easy DIY fit too.

I went for the full colour coded mirror caps, gloss black side vents and rear roof spoiler which is being sprayed up next week. All from powerful UK and all seem pretty good quality so far. I've not had anything electrical off them so can't comment on quality of that. |

I think that colour-coded is the way for me too.I don't want bling,but each to their own.
