Black Rear Light Panel on White Car - yay or nay?

[JeffD]

Fitted a black rear panel yesterday to my car but not sure whether I like it not....better or worse - what do you think?

Standard


With new black panel




Only cost me a fiver to do and can easily be put back - just used hot water to loosen glue on the stickers, stuck some vinyl sheet over it and re-stuck my stickers back! LOL If I like it Ill buy a proper panel but this will do until I make my mind up.

I think it looks better with the black panel personally

I have a white one myself and managed to get hold of a carbon centre with reverse lights.. Plus a custom rev 3 spoiler with carbon adjustable blade.. think it will set the car of nicely

But, like the change you made.. makes me think my own changes will work well.. I hope

I think it looks good. You thought of smoking the rear lights aswell with that? Although of course, not to everyones taste as it would be slightly illegal.. And isnt the best in fog/dark nights. I put my smoked out lights on in the summer months with a black/carbon centre panel.

Looks great fella. I have a sprayed gloss black center panel on my rev 3. Breaks the colour up nicely imo

[jasongtr]

black def, thats what im doing to mine

[kayjay0_7]

definitely black

i've wrapped mine with carbon vinyl (going to re do it as I want to blank off the boot lock)

[jasongtr]

you got a pic of that further away? i have loads of carbon wrap and thats not a bad idea

[riot68]

first pic looks good in white, second pic in black I didn't like but looks great on the third so I say yeah too...

[fearless]

plus 1 for black then again im biased as i have a black back panel aswell and agree it breaks it up a bit and goes with my theme.

Keep it white!,

The black just doesnt suit a white 2 IMO, i debated fitting a carbon to mine but think it spoils the overall 'clean' look that a white 2 gives.

At least you can rip the vinyl off if u change ur mind

Yeah the rear panels from carben, the fit is allright I think it needed a little bit grinding off where it screws into the rear bulkhead thingy and you need to drill some holes for it to fit to the oem bracket.

Ta dude, was thinking about getting one

[Craigo]

white all the way jeff

debadged black.

I was in 2 minds when I put mine on but now I would never go back to the white centre...

[Steve Horrocks]

I like it, a lot! Ties in the black outline/trim around the rear light really well!
