Would liek dome D8.5 rub strips so I have the chrome strips. My D8's are a little damaged and scuffed. Anyone know how much they are from the dealers? Or even how much normal D8's are as I would like to pain them Glossblack or CF wrap them.

Extortionately expensive from the stealer
About £150 for the rear bumper, and around £45 each for the other 6 strips IIRC

What about colour coding them, could be an interesting look, never seen it done before

I often wondered about that, but decided to wimp out and let someone else be the guinea pig ^_^

Almost got me but I'd wrap the chrome bits in carbon fiber ;)

I'd colour code them but silvers the hardest colour to match.

Why bother? If you don't want the silver inserts, get rub strips without them.
