Bought from ebay, cost £22 for the four pieces.

Pleased with the result as i felt there was a bit too much red at the back.

More C-HR owners fitting plastic "Tat" to their cars to reduce its value.....Cars in orginal condition have better resale value than cars full of "stick on" bits of plastic....

As you said STICK ON so protecting what's underneath and if I was worried about resale value and looking money. I sure wouldn't buy a brand new car. Unless you got company car and not allowed to personlise it. LMFAO.

Toyota spend millions developing and designing a car that looks and drives FANTASTIC...Then owners come along and buy cheap plastic "Tat" from China and stick it all over it !!! :D

I can't see any discussion happening on what someone likes or dislikes. You just can't prove to someone, that (s)he likes or dislikes something if it's the opposite :)
Thats what disscusion is..you tell me why you like it and I tell you why I don't...

For you - may be :) For me, as I said, there can't be any discussion, if there's no way to prove anything. You say you like stock, they say they like plastic bits. That's it. You also can tell why you don't like what they like, but it's not a discussion - just facts and opinions :) Maybe I'd agree it's a chat :D Discussion should seek some conclusion, but that's not what's happened here ;) You were just arguing about taste and judging others about what they like.

Blimey! :eek:

All over some light garnishes. What I would say to Dave D is: I agree about a lot of the plastic that is being adorned on the C-HR, particularly in other countries. A lot of it is not shaped to suit the complicated lines of the C-HR.

As for what I have done - well, five minutes with a hairdryer and it is all removed with no harm to the OEM lights, and therefore my resale value is back up there. :D

If Toyota had provided the Excel with the rear lights from the Dynamic, I would not have bothered, but I feel there is too much pinky red on the back with the lights Toyota provide on the Excel. :cry: So I spent £22 on some totally removable tat if I change my mind.

I might not be as tasteless as you think I am. :p

Great to see this kind of personal touches to the car!! :cool:

But even better to see is that the quality and fitment of most very cheap China items seems to be very good.
My C-HR have also stuff from the Middle East (not only China) and very happy with it.

I was surprised by the quality and accuracy of fit for £22 including postage.! :D

Most China parts are really worth the money!
Some chrome parts may be get some pits or signs of use and looks like a bit worn after time,, but fitment is really good!
