|  Octy vRS front bumper lower vent strips I've noticed that the trim strip that runs horizontal across two lower side grill vents on the Octy vRS front bumber are sometimes colour coded and sometimes black. (excluding black cars!!!) From the pictures i've seen the UK spec cars are are colour coded and the non UK are not. Is this how they came from the factory or do you think the owners have changed the colour on the non colour coded examples?

| I'm pretty sure they are all black, and that there are certain owners (most notably those with a digital camera  ) who have colour coded them. |

| AFAIK as standard the bar is colour coded to the car, mine are red, Im in two minds as to wether they look better black or red  the grills look similar to the standard Octy bumper when the bar is black, which defeats the purpose of having the vRS front bumper IMHO

| It's a Phase1 to Phase2 thing isn't it ? Similar to them switching to a black internal head-lining
