dont go matte. its horrible to maintain and looks very bunky. A much better option is satin black. its like a nice version of matte black. you wont regret it.
I'd do a satin white, would look awesome imo, especially with the blue wheels

if i spray il go matt blue i dont want to do a colour change.its too much hassle.
dont like the satin finish its in between gloss and matt
My bug was done in a matt finish before and it looked awsome.
iv gotta spray my bowser and a guard il do it in a matt first see if it looks good the rest will get done
we'l see
tail lights are held on by screws at the back.
if you are going to change to smoked why not get real Hella ones?
hmmm might look good gringo... I do kinda like my car when its covered in a even pattern of road grim and dust giving it a matt black finish. but then i clean it up and it looks sweet. depends if you want a clean look or not i guess.

It'll look okay I guess but I associate matte cars with pig drift cars or stupidly rich people who like to do random things to their exotic vehicles. It'll definitely stand out and could look tough if done right.

Anyways I'm thinking about getting an upgraded exhaust, especially since my wife said that she reckons our car needs bigger exhaust tips lol. That's why I married her.

To pull off a matte paint job I think you'll have to rock some serious fitment and be stupid low. Stock it will look stupid.
Picked up some new front guard liners from the local dealer. For those interested at $85 each for original parts, 2 of them is still cheaper than the postage of 1 $15 liner from ECS.
