RE: Is chrome old fashioned - Rusty2009 - 21:st-May-2016 Too much chrome can ruin it but I do like my chrome. The one thing that makes no sense to me and really ruins a black car is people who colour code the chrome on the outside. RE: Is chrome old fashioned - mrtc - 21:st-May-2016 i think for example the astra elite could do with abit of interior chrome, its quite dark in there RE: Is chrome old fashioned - stigeye - 21:st-May-2016 The darker the better for me, if it came with black headliner and pillars I would have it. Can't remember what car it was I sat in before we got the astra but it had a black headliner and we loved it. It was only a small GT, either a 208 or something similar. RE: Is chrome old fashioned - sheppy1 - 23:rd-May-2016 Chrome is good if used tastefully... My car didn't come with chrome window trim but I added it. I also got the chrome fog surround too (official) and a few other bits and bats but mainly official stuff mine didn't come with... I think it depends on the colour of the car as to whether it's needed or even tacky. My car looked dull without it.

I do think it is car dependant. I agree with stigeye you should get a shadow or matt finish to make suit everyone's taste. My wife has a black Kia Sorento and I think it needs the chrome to give it that something or it would just look like every other big black 4x4. |
