Bling or Stealth
Having seen a new members pics of his blackened out D3 this week ....
... it really did look good.
My D3 went from 'standard' to fully kitted 'off road' to 'bling'.
Now, I've got itchy feet and thinking on 'Stealth' so started doodling.
D3 as it is now.
D3 as it could look
to view screw up your eyes [or take your Specsaver glasses off]
So, Bling or Stealth ???????????I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Personally I prefer it the way it is although I wouldn't call it 'bling'.

I personally don't like 'bling' and although I begrudgingly like the 'stealth' look, if I can be so bold as to suggest, it is for a much younger person than your good self!
I think a mid-way look could be good and still mark the car out as being an individual.
Lose the chrome mirror caps, silver door & tailgate handles, and return them to black.
Paint the tubes a dark silver/grey
Paint the side vent the same colour.
Do the 'clear front indicator' thing.
Have the wheels done in 'shadow chrome'
I think the 'black with dark silver/grey' look would be good.
