It is black and shiny :P

Looks very good, in here police would stop you very quickly and remove license plates because your blinkers are not certified, I really like from those black blinkers :D

Hehe, they do that in Norway too.. But for almost a year i`ve managed to avoid them :D only been stopped once, but they didnt say anything about it. It was just a "alcohol" control... For so long :p And if u think the blinkers are black, Dude you havent seen the back lights :)

Very nice indeed. Looks like a newer car, rather than an 300 era car! They do look smart in black, that's for sure. Nice alloys and pin stripes too. Looks like the glass is tinited as well, works well.

U mean my blinkers? Theyre originally orange.. I bougth a spray paint and painted them black.. Its a special type of paint ment for being used on lights. Its supposed to let all the light pass trough. Well, it doesnt :)

I think that looks really cool, mate. I reckon the spotlights would look better on the front valance or something but they don't exactly look crap or anything where they are!

Off topic: Notice you've got a shaded area at the top of the windscreen, do all 360s have them or is that a custom addition? Thought I'd ask because my 340DL doesn't have one.
