Banner bar

I would like to remove de dark bar below the slider. By overwriting the css I managed to remove the dot and arrows and removed the background color but the space is still reserved.

CSS code:

.banner .arrows {
	display:none;
	height: 0px;
}
.banner .dots {
	display:none;
	height: 0px;
}
.banner {
	background: white;
	height: 300px;
}

Any ideas?
