Shaved molding/trim on an A70...
I've got to say I'm neutral on this one.
At some angles looking at a shaved A70, it can pull it off and look very nice and sleek.
But I've come to the conclusion that a majority of the time, it comes off as having that "Wait...something's missing" appearance.
The reason why I think it looks kind of funky from a side view is simple because our cars are LONG, and short. If the MkIII was a "tall" car like, for example, a Cobalt (has very tall doors), then it looks fine. Otherwise...
Red car + red trim = Win.
Black car + black trim = Win.
and so on...
