Hey Guys, wanting to do a few things at the moment thus the threads.

Anyway, I'm liking the look of my car without the side mouldings as one fell off. Wondering at what effort would it be to fill in the two ~1cm² holes left in the each door.
The black bars just make the car look so much older.

Heres an example of someone who's done it.

Firstly, what colour is your car? Do you have any current fading or damaged paint? I can't tell exactly how much it will cost however I would say for a really good job you may be in for spraying/feathering the majority of the car (both sides). Research and find exactly how many holes will be left behind and their positions. Then go to a few shops for quotes and tell them what you want done. This will give you a much better idea than OH goodness. You might be in for some 'yellow pages' goodness depending on how the OH crowd is feeling today.

Sorry, also you'll probably be charged around $200-$250 to colour code them (plus the cost of replacing the one that fell off). If you're doing this, maybe get the skirts etc. colour coded too!

My one is the maroon colour, I had the whole car resprayed after an accident < 2 months ago. and when the panel beater put the panels back on, one wasn't done properly and came off a few weeks later, just had him put it back on yesterday.
