Carbon stakes yes or no
Discussion
Hi there car going in for mot so I thought I would treat my self to a n400 kit which includes side skirts front spliter and rear valance I have the option of having carbon side stakes would you keep the stainless steel look my car is vantage roadster aluminum silver with red hood any body seen it out there before ? What's it look like ? Thanks
Do you have any other carbon fiber components on the car such as front splitter or rear diffuser? The chrome side strakes on my V12V looked odd against the carbon fiber parts so I changed them. For you, if you haven't then the chrome maybe more appropriate but having said that, I can see how the CF would contrast nicely with silver.
Your choice....... I don't think there's a bad decision with the colours you describe. But if you do, don't forget the obligatory before and after pics. A nice dilemma to have.

If you scroll down to the bottom of my post you will see my car with the N420 kit and carbon strakes.

No.
The OP asked if he should keep the silver ones, or if anyone has seen it. So you are saying he shouldn't keep the silver ones therefore get the carbon ones? Or you are saying you haven't seen them?
Or is it just a mild display of tourettes. Probably tourettes. More likely than you liking carbon I suppose (yes I get that you like it on race cars).
Kinda makes sense thinking about it
edit - my George bashing attempt has failed. It says it in the thread title. Sorry George, until next time!

If you read the title it says "Carbon stakes (sic) yes or no". I replied no.So you are saying he shouldn't keep the silver ones therefore get the carbon ones? Or you are saying you haven't seen them?

I never once said I like carbon in racing cars. I said I liked it when it's used for structural or weight saving measures. Used as blingy tat such as side strakes and interior fascias I can't stand it. Looks like it should be on a Corsa parked up in McDonalds car park.

yup, I spotted my error and corrected it, then I see your expansion on the point and I get that warm fuzzy feeling of positivity and tolerance in the world again...
