Black door tops

Post by Finny »

Has anyone seen an EK or FB with black/dark door tops.
A lot of cars have this colour effect, and I thought it would look good on my EK?
A little photoshop below (maybe a matt or Grey would be better), but wonder if anyone has seen one or has a real image ?

Yes Fingers, that was what I thought. Satin black. I had done a few myself previously.

The GT's and actually lots of cars had it over the years.

Yes, I agree.
I've gone off the idea now, just wondered if it had been done or if anyone had any photos.
