I've just bought coilovers and 8mm spacers for my car, I'm also putting on new tyres so going to get my wheels refurbished, what do people think, should I keep them the standard silver colour or go satin black?

Black will look better if you have black optics. Silver will match better with alu optics.

Yeah I thought this, I have the alu pack, but was conosider My doing the black optic front grill and also doing the rear of the car in black badges and the black strip? And leaving the aluminium around the side windows? But I'm just not sure.

It's all done to personal taste. I prefer black optics and dark wheels, others prefer the alu optics and silver wheels. But if you go black grill etc I'd do windows too.

Or could go somewhere in between; titan wheels and trim? My C7 came with titan trim and wheels, might look good on yellow.

Any idea on the cost of getting the Windows done in the black optics? Or has anyone ever had theirs wrapped? If so does the wrap last and look just as good?

I originally wrapped mine myself and it was good but not perfect. Others have had theirs wrapped profesionally to great effect. Mine are now painted.
The cost of the black trim itself is not massive, but you need to remove the rear quarter glass and have it bonded back in and the orignal trim is rivetted in I believe, so the labour costs start spiralling. I think it was about £1k just for the labour charge.

Took me about 2 hours to do the lot. Perfect results every time
