I like the silver better. But its your car do what you want to it. :)

I like them better silver, personally. I would save the effort for the lower sections of the bumpers and skirts.

Agreed. That would make be a nice addition.

Id paint the brake calipers , i think that would add soemthing nice to those big open rims :)

No.

And.

Who is Winfred?

[Anton CH.]

Cool, just needed to get a second opinion. After looking for them so long, I think it becomes hard to distinguish things.

What color should I paint my calipers? Red/yellow/blue or what?

And by the way, who is Winfred and where is Jeff?!

[Kobe Diesel]

RED calipers
Repaint wheels to original finish
Paint sideskirts, front and rear bumpers to match car

[Qube]

Silver. If you want to be classy, go silver calipers.

Believe me, I've tried red, blue and now on yellow. I'll go silver after the winter.

Gunmetal would be the best colour for the wheels... I also agree to paint the bottom trims white.
Painted calipers starts getting ricey if you use the wrong colour - so silver is probably best!

Maybe polish the lips of ...tint your clear after you re- silver them....color match your door handles(so they'll go away) and perhaps paint your mirrors semigloss black for the same reason.
It might streamline you car and make it look cleaner.I agree with the rest for colormatching all lower parts too.Surely someone can photoshop these ideas for a fun preview ?
Best of luck.........Vinny:)

Black rims IMHO only look good on certain design wheels, with the lip polished. I love these rims

In your case, I'd leave 'em how they are.

I say Gunmetal, and I like the white/black contrast a lot...one of the reasons I love the M5 with the painted lower skirts. I'd leave the skirts black--it gives the car a more thin/lithe appearance. When it is all painted body color, the car looks fat and ungainly IMO.
