Has anyone got any photos of LE lips on a Coupe which has retained the black sills and black power bumper part?

OMG do you think anyone would have done that let alone allow photographic evidence of such a hideous crime.

rofl

That's why I wanted to see pictures! I love my black sills and don't fancy the rot problems the LE skirts can cause.

So I assume that it's not been done on here yet then!

There was a chap on here going back a few years who fitted a black le kit to his yellow coupe. I think his username was something like 'skate2create'.

Really don't like that, makes the coupe look like it has a foot of ground clearance! Body colour sills and lips will make the coupe look lower, much nicer in my opinion. Each to there own though.

I think it looks brilliant. Too many Coupes look exactly the same, people need to break the mould IMO as at shows they all look like clones

The black LE sills and Broom gets my vote. I think it gives the coupe a subtle updated edgy look, whilst still keeping its original classic looks pre LE...if that makes sense?

I may well be tempted to do this - with FCSS slightly lowered springs, I think that would be a great mix?

I like the contrast of the black lower half.
If I ever get round to it I will put a satin black LE kit on my Steel grey coupe. cool

I did a rough photoshop to give me the general idea but
I'm refurbing my standard alloys in anthracite at the mo,
so haven't got any further with the kit.

How on earth did you get the Coupe up there? Don't tell me, you photoshopped it up there?

Drove it in from the pavement? It looks flat from that side.

... which is due to water being caught behind them if you don't install them properly or take care you free up any of the holes to drain the water. Covering them in black tar won't help there.

To reverse this discussion, i want to change my black sills on the 16v to red to match the rest of the car. I was quoted 360 to do this professionaly, i know someone on here has done it themselves on here, i just wondered how to do it and do you think it would be a difficult job . I presume lots of sanding down , primer, color coats and lacquer. Any ideas ?
