SSEi cladding
Anyone ever toyed with the idea or actually removed the cladding on the doors and rocker panel of their SSEi?
It seems like it would look very clean without the cladding but I'm not sure what is underneath it and how it would look compared to the upper portion of the doors.

it won't look right because the front and rear bumpers would protrude out past the doors and have that ribbed look to them. The doors would look out of place flat, with the bumpers looking the way they do..

There are different part numbers for Se and sle or ssei side body molding. The fsm makes the side look smooth without the cladding.
Not sure I would like this as the cladding brings out the bottom and flattens the sides a bit, without cladding it might look a bit rounded?
