Default I Still Think Mascara!!!

The light surrounds are definitely black (mascara) in later pics, not sure about the picture of Heather in the Winners Enclosure!!!

It doesn't look like they're black.

Any thoughts on your next project?

Jeez, Peter!

I was killing myself, trying to spot some new adornement, or the like.

On looking at them now, the under bumper trim does look a bit darker and more satin than before, but I assumed this had been done for the show.

She is looking good though.

Yeah, so much better than colour coding the trims, IMHO.
