Wonder who gave you that idea Whistle Good to see that the sheep are following the shepherd Laughing

Dealers order mine with factory door mouldings as it works out cheaper for them as they were told that they clip off Rolling Eyes so they could easily take them off to be painted. Here is my car when it just came of the transporter as you can see the matt black door mouldings and d pillars didn't do any justice to the Fuji White and it dated the car IMO.

Totally agree that our cars look better with colour coded door mouldings and as an added bonus make for easier waxing without the need for some forms of masking tape.

I made it a condition of purchase for my my64 acquisition earlier this year. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Good choice you should upload a picture of them Thumbs Up I am quite surprised that this is NOT a popuar mod tbh! Understand that the whole point of a door moulding is to take a few hits and that the paint may chip off etc. But it will cost peanuts to get a strip repainted Wink MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

I suppose thats about the only advantage of having a black car, they are already coded to fit.

I could have lived with them in black because as you say they are designed to take a few knocks but unfortunately the black rubber material does not stand up to our fierce sunlight so it was either watch them become sun bleached or paint them. I chose to paint them Thumbs Up
I like it now it's done, let's see how they survive the shopping centre car park test over time 😱😱 MY15

Looks good Thumbs Up
I also think they look good in black if you don't have painted door sill guards. MY15
