Righto,
My B-pillars are peeling more than a Ginger after 2 weeks in Ibiza, so I'm going to rip them off.
I know you can get textured black stuff off of eGay to replace them with, but I already have some gloss black vinyl at home. Has anyone ever done the B-pillars in gloss black and do we think it'll look good?
The materials will be free anyway so it's all gravy, will be having a crack at this come the weekend, just wondered if anyone has any jpegs to share.

Looks good, you almost can't tell it's got too many doors! (sorry, had to be said)
I'll have a crack at the weekend and post the results. Does the rubber trim around the window just pull away? (obviously with the window down) as I'll want it done proper
