that's more like a 3 tone color ... you'll always have the black from the B-Pillars...witch I.M.O. doesn't go with the silver and the color from the coupe...

Not to my taste I'm afraid, to me it looks as if you have just replaced the bumpers after an accident.

I think maybe if the lines followed better i.e. the skirts followed into the lips on the bumper rather than the full bumper then maybe.

Just colour code the lot with the colour of the car. IMO the silver really doesn't go with the lovely met red. (I have this colour too)

If you wanted a two tone, why don't you paint the bumpers red with the car but the skirts and lower parts of front and rear bumpers black. That could work.

Two tone generally works, when you have a different roof colour to the rest of the body work. Or black bumper sills, and standard black side sills to match. Otherwise alternate colour bumpers and side skirts to the colour of the car look just like that - as if they're from another car, and it's just a temporary accident repair.

I think that's right up there with the worst serious proposals of a "what do you think of this" that I've seen in my time of membership.

Sorry if that seems harsh, but it's the truth.
