I like that! It suits the stealthy nature of the car.

Hi Chaps,

I had mine done in dark metallic grey - not sure if I should have gone for black though??

I think black car warrants titan wheels. Silver certainly does. Blue/grey looks great with dark wheels too, but the best colours to suit the std silver.

Here's my old black one with titan wheels.

You need to de-cat! LOL Very Good.

The one's posted by oneye do look very dull buy maybe that is just the photos.

I don't have black optics and personally I like the bling baby!!

Still deciding on the wheels. I also see some people get the center cap painted and some leave the contrast.

Rupert, love the pics and personally I think your leather looks great. I had a red alfa with the same colour leather and it divided opinion but everytime I clicked my fob and the lights came on it made me smile!

The italians do make lovely seats but I think the Recaros look great as well.
