No, I doubt it. I don't have Photoshop, I use the open source Gimp. OK, so it's clunky and crashes with monotonous regularity, but at least it's free!

Here's another view:

I think if painting the door surrounds, I'd go for matt black rather than gloss black.

Some 300s have a black vinyl sticker between the windows, that texture would be good!!

Yeah I agree it'd look good - I don't know how you could get that kind of texture though - its plastic stuff stuck onto the window frames originally.

Only GLT's have it, but base spec 306's and modeos do too, so maybe a pug or ford dealer?

I bought (well it hasn't arrived and I haven't paid it yet but it's a "closed deal" :P) sunroof wind deflector. Hopefully it'll reduce the wind noice at speeds above 100km/h.

Damn you! I wouldn't mind one of them actually. I was looking at cars that have them with similarly sized sunroofs but haven't seen anything of much use so far. My sunroof is fairly quiet though- so it's no longer the main source of windnoise! Sure to help though!

My 360GL had the black whatsit for the door pillars - I suspect all 360's did :wink:
