I was tempted to get mine done silver like the above and the middle gloss black to match the number plate part, has anyone done this too? Or have people just left it normal black?

Looks great with the white/silver stripe too.
Have thought of doing this on mine, but love the deep look too much with it all silver.

I reallly like this look on the red/grey/silver/white cars. It makes the front that little bit more menacing.  :evilgrin:
