What else would I need apart from these please help. Thank is advance..

Re: DIY For My Hyundai i10 - Need Suggestions

Hey man! Sure you can paint the chrome part on the front and back, Already done on my i10. Try debadging the logos too on the back and smoke your tail lamps. Since the roof is already black I think it's gonna look hot.

I don't like the vinyls on the side, it's killing the look. Why don't you try putting on the stripes from front to back starting from the vinyl positioned in the hood. Keep the black and white theme going on. Cheers!
