Exterior

I've been curious about this and it might sound like a stupid question but I need it answered haha.

In This Picture:
http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/304...9123327823.jpg

Where I circled RED, that rubber-ish area on the car that goes around the whole car is white. I'm trying to get mine white as well. Is that done by repainting it or does it just come like that on some cars or can i replace them?

Where I circled GREEN, is that just the stock front bumper with fogs? Or is that a different bumper? Because I'm trying to get those fogs too! haha.

Thanks for in advance!

the car shown in the picture is an S5. model years 88-91.

they came with color matched moldings and a different bumper among other things.

im going to guess that your model is pre-88 with black moldings and no cutouts for foglights.

You would have to get moldings from the fenders, doors, rear quarter panels, and swap the front and rear bumpers.

you can spray your moldings white, clean and sand them good and apply some color matched single stage paint, will take you longer to mask the car then anything else. Anniversary editions come this way.

First paint job I did on my vert when it still had s4 parts I left the moldings original, then one day decided I wanted to paint them so that is how I did it.
Not worth removing just to paint and the molding is part of the bumpers anyhow.
