get the sport ones and put them on, imo removing the bump strips doesnt make it look all that much better

Yes, dont use a toffee wheel unless you know what you're doing.

Get it mopped and the milkyness will go.

I think it depends on the car, and what colour the bump strips are, I had post '97 bump strips ready to go on mine, that were sprayed up in arden blue when I got the whole car done, but I didnt fit them because when I held them up against the car, they didnt look right at all. Its so much nice to have smooth bodywork aswell, makes the car so much easier to clean, and looks a hell of a lot better too.
