A sort of weird Silver/Grey/Black transition as you move your eyes over the car...I like it, but as most have said, its down to personal choice..
Well, we're going to need to see pictures now!

Best bit about black pipes when you wash your car you sometimes skip cleaning them, Chrome always requires that extra polish..

I've got black tips on my daytona Avant and have full black optics however I also would like the tips to stand out better. Can the tips be removed or is it all the way back to the box if you want to swap them out? Haven't actualy looked
