Personally I think that the car looks good with or without.:icon_thumleft:
It gives you somewhere to place a badge to enhance/compliment trim combinations ie Italian flag/stripes,chequerered,barcode etc and adds to the variety of personalisations available .
However on a functional note,do they provide protection on the supermarket car park :confused:
To me they seem to be too low,as I think the door on the 500 has quite a pronounced convex profile that sticks out unprotected further up :(.
In fact we asked for mouldings on the 500 that we originally ordered, as we have suffered from" door dings "before. Although the one we eventually acquired does not have them .
The dealer offered to fit them after delivery ,but it was going to cost more
plus they had to be sprayed to match etc ........Didn't know how it would compare with the factory finish :confused:
Any thoughts ? ............Matizman
