I haven't got pics but I have Sti carbon effect winglets. I have seen a few people save a few quid and carbon wrap their orange markers.

sedge69 - Just out of curiosity where did you get the trim that runs across the doors? I've not seen it on any others?!?

Depends what color of the wheels in my opinion. I had anthracite wheels so had the carbon ones, then when I had white alloys I put the original clear white ones on

Yellow wheels. Was thinking the carbon type markers but may look odd

Take them off, sand them back (to remove the embossed manufacturer writing on them) then primer and colour code

Didn't take too long, was one of the first things i did to my bug.
