Why fit exterior styling parts to your car?
Exterior styling parts are brilliant for enhancing the way yourĀ car looks. With an infinite number of options out there for a wide range of vehicles,Ā there isĀ something to suitĀ everyone's taste. Adding high-quality exterior styling upgrades can make your vehicle stand out and make it your own, almost as an extension of your personality.
Why choose Gloss Black styling upgrades?
Gloss black styling upgrades are generally manufactured using ABS, an extremely durable plastic used extensively in the automotive industry. Our MHC Black Gloss Black Styling Range utilises ABS as well as other well-known brands such as Maxton Design, who also favour this material.Ā
1. Clean & stealthy look.
Gloss black offers a sleek & stealthy vibe that works with any paint colour.
2. More affordable than carbon fibre.
It's also far more affordable than carbon fibre exterior styling parts - especially pre-preg carbon fibre which is very expensive to manufacture.
3. Durable & weather-resistant.
ABS has greater flex than carbon fibre, meaning if you scrape or ding it accidentally, it's far less likely to damage the panels it's attached to. If you're car's extremely low and you're constantly destroying front splitters, a Ā£1499 MHC+ SP1 Pre Preg Carbon Fibre Front Splitter isĀ far more expensive to replace than a Ā£159.99 MHC Black Performance Style Front Splitter.
What reasons are there to avoid Gloss Black styling upgrades?
1. Not as strong as carbon fibre.
Despite the durability of ABS, if you're number 1 priority is quality, it's hard to beat carbon fibre - especially pre-preg carbon fibre you'd find from MHC+.
2. Heavier than carbon fibre.
Carbon is extremely lightweight, hence why it's used extensively in motorsport. Pre-preg carbon is even lighter - up to 70% lighter, in fact.
3. Doesn't look as premium as carbon fibre.
There's a reason why gloss black is standard on a BMW M3, but carbon fibre is an optional extra. If you want the ultimate, most premium material, gloss black is unlikely to satisfy your needs.
