Should I get my lower plastics body coloured?

What are your thoughts?

Stornaway grey.

I have a price to get all lower plastics body coloured.

I've been quoted £600+vat.

Is that expensive?

Should I do it or do they look better plastic?

I can't decide.

If £600+vat seems a lot do you recommend anywhere?

Thanks

I don't think £600 + vat is expensive if its done right, a lot of labour time is involved if done right, i paid 1k for all lower plastics front rear bumpers, doors, lower front wings, lower rear tailgate, door handles, side vents and the surround of front grill, all parts were taken off the car to be sprayed, i got a 3 year guarantee too.

On grey i dont think its worth the money unless your getting it cheap (not cheaply done). I find the difference between the plastic and painted parts is minimal. WINNER - 2008 Best All New Photograph

I agree with ViewWise on this one, in relation to grey parts (door handles, lower tailgate trim, side vents etc.). I too don't think it's a massive difference to what's already there. Save yourself some cash and only do certain parts.

Buy colour coded door handle skins and change them yourself, it's easy and there's a guide on you tube if your not sure.

There's a thread on here by 'Sherlock' who recently had his black RRS colour coded, could be worth checking out.

Spain 

One BIG advantage of colour coded tupperware parts is that they are so much easier to clean. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.
