Sorry, you’ve lost me - are there stickers I can’t see in the photo or are the entire pillars stickered? 

Looks great @Prezafab

£10.99 from eBay, from China !  Bought another set now as much cheaper than vinyl wrapping and they stay stuck and wash well. The only slight negative is the bottom corners come to a sharp point which are easy to catch with a sponge. Solution is to snip the corners off with scissors before fitting.

It does indeed look better in the photos, before you showed them I thought my car already had black pillars, to late/dark/cold to go out and look but I'm sure they are body coloured.

 

They have never bothered me before but now I won't be able to unsee them in black so can you give the Ebay listing please, econd thoughts don't bother, I have been locked out of Ebay for a year now (not recieving the text code for security) and they are uncontactable if you cannot log in.

 

On the subject of stickers, the clear one that goes over the rear door where it forms the front of the wheelarch, I had a coming together with someone trying to undertake me while I was straight lining a roundabout 'at lunchtime Frenchmen are manic!) they made contact with that part of the door when aborting the manoevre then my trailer shredded their car from front to rear, I was left with a reasonable size dent through the sticker, paint and primer down to the bare metal, a fair exchange I decided!

 

Or so I thought when I finally decided to tidy up the damage a couple of days ago, the damage had never rusted and what I thought was bare galvanised metal was the damaged sticker being ground opaque, I carefully cut a horizontal line through it beneath the damage and peeled it off, after compounding the scratches there is still a reasonable dent but zero paintwork damage, the sticker did a fantastic job at protecting the paintwork from damage and the paint is incredibly flexible and stuck on like glue.

 

I have several dents that I have carefully beaten out or done PDR the paint has never cracked on any of them, the wheelarch damage is beyond PDR and will remain as a battle scar, I'm really pleased the paintwork is undamaged.

I can see now that the pillars themselves are stickered, the entire ‘window line’ is certainly improved

One of the cheapest 'styling modifications' I've done to a car since fitting a TURBO badge to a Toyota Corolla...

Its odd they left the factory with the A & C Pillars and rear blacked out to give the illusion of a floating roof  but left the B pillars body coloured which then destroys the illusion.

Agreed. I think it's to emphasise the "Lancia Stratos" door line. (See Jeremy Clarkson on this!)

Depends on the colour of the car, don't think it would enhance my white one.

 

 

Here's a link, my treat JR if you want them!
