i was in yard last week and seen a late 206 with painted bump strips and the thought did cross my mind but kinda like the black bits
plus i have heavy stuff in and out of my boot all the time so the black stip on the back ends up scratched and if i had it painted it would do my head in lookin at a painted one scratched up
