I went for a 'sparkle silver' finish for my Daytona Avant. I wanted something a little different but not too much and the finish really compliments the daytona metallic fleck. I had mine done by Pristine and would definitely recommend.

Mine are being powder coated right now, I went for a Sparkle Silver as close to standard, but my plan is to keep her as original as possible.

I was however tempted by the Gunmetal Grey ones.

Can't decide between standard or Titan/gunmetal for my Daytona either :roll:

That picture the gunmetal looks good but I think that's because of the black optics, I am swaying towards staying silver to match the aluminium roof bars and window surrounds on the standard finishes?

Like to see the sparkle silver though.

That is indeed sparkle silver! It looks great (IMHO) on the car, subtly different. I'll take some photos once the clean has finished tomorrow.
