Can’t decide what colour roof bars to go on my starlight blue van.
What you guys think??

If they are for styling/bling, go chrome, if they are actually going to do some work, go black so they are more discrete.
 
Really like Starlight blue. Especially in the sun. In low light however, it can look just a few shades away from black. So I think the black bars would look more like a mismatch. Chrome would give you a definitive contrast.

However, applying Donkey' s logic.....Starlight blue is a subtly classy colour. It's not in yer face bling or overtly sporty like some colours. Just in my view. Because of that subtleness, if it was an option, I'd be looking for brushed aluminium or brushed stainless. But as it not...

Chrome. (But not too much).

Guess it depends what other stuff you intend to add? Since getting my Van iv got all colour coordinated like a big girl. Might have to update my shoes and man bag :whistle:
 
All im going to carry is a lightweight set of ladders,very occasionally.
Will be changing wheels soon,and colour wise,I'm leaning towards anthracite.
So bars will be mainly for styling.

Out of interest, what's a 'man bag' ? I just use my pockets for small items, and anything larger I have a ruddy great van!

If this is the case could you not get them painted or powder coated anthracite depending what they are made of, wouldn’t cost a lot.
 
'Man parts'.........what like........as in.....like spanners?:unsure:
Which you keep in your Snap On man bag.

It’s a pocket extension around your shoulders. Think of it like a T32 LWB pocket allowing for extra weight ;)
 
Thanks everyone for your input,decided on black.
