The front and back spoiler and the mirrors should be fully colour coded.

The door handles rear reg plate surround, bumper inserts and side mouldings should be black and depending if you have SE skirts or not, the bottom of the rear valance should be colour coded or black.

Aerial should be a black mast one then too

welcome to the zone as said everything should be colour coded like bumpers, splitter, mirrors,
hope to help
