Should i get my sills sprayed red or not? I have had two quotes at £150 and £250 for all round (front, rear, sides), just wondering whether you think it will enhance the looks or not, i think it looks better personally, not too keen on the black sills, do any of you have pics with colour coded sills. Really wanna go for it

Definitely - was so happy when I had the sills and bumpers done on my old 20v - looks smiles better imho.

Definitely looks better with colour coded sills. IMO the black sills were the one thing that really lets the car down.

Get it done. It's be the best cost:looks trade off you can get on a Coop. You won't regret it.

For e.g. on my apparently disgusting car:-

thanks for all the quick replies, im totally sold on it now, that pic is fantastic, looks transformed :O) Disgusting? That car looks achingly beautiful mate! Def going to get it down then will post up pics :O)! thanks again. Ps; makes the car seem lower somehow although it isnt haha

You can also do it like I did (see sig. below).

The idea was to get rid of that lightcatching lip at the bottom, and I was pleased by the result.

That looks really classy Per

Per where did you get the rear diffuser, or did you make it yourself, i think it looks good. You have a very unique car, diffuser, front standard bumper with bits cut out, i really like it.

Very nice Per. The seats look rather cool too!

Why not get some painted LE skirts fitted?

I like that one Per. The wheels really suit ('shopped them straight onto my car and it doesn't work at all) and it reminds me of some 70's GT.

Where did you get the quotes from Tommy_Coop22? I'm thinking of doing the same thing and I'm in the same area.

Thanks for the comments! Very nice of you.

Thanks, everything is custom-homemade I'm afraid..

The diffusor project was overseen by a aero specialist here at Volvo so it should actually work! (in fact he complemented the very flat underpan of the Coupe).

But it's not so complicated, it's basically 4 vertical plates and a little cutaway in the bumperlip.

If anyone's interested I did templates of each plate, in JPEG format.

How much would you charge to make another diffuser for me he he he

What I'm saying is you can easily do it yourself if you print those templates, and use either plastic, aluminium or whatever.

I know, but i was being cheeky and trying to get someone else to do the hard work for me he he he

Loads of people would in interested in buying them if *someone* were to do a production run for a GB.

Hey AdamGT, sorry im late in replying mate, went 'landan' at weekend. I'm getting my sills colour-coded at SD Bodyshop in Trentham, Newstead Industrial Estate, ive had some bodywork done there before on previous cars and am always very impressed, really friendly bunch there and you can really bargain with him and bring the price down :O) If he isnt happy that the 'paint job' is abs spot on, he wont hand it back as hes a bit of a perfectionist which is good for the customer lol. Speak soon m8

PS: Im getting my sills done for £200 at sd bodyshop which is apparently quite reasonable, other garages have quoted me £250 and £300 so going with them as only round corner and trust them to do a good job.
