Keep the chrome kidney grill - is my humble opinion.

Car looks cool as it is. Needs a new gear gaiter (shameless plug for my gaiters).

These questions are mainly personal opinion but paint color certainly factors into the options you have. My car is also stirling silver and in my opinion and most others the grill looks better in black, its a more uniform look and a nice contrast against the lighter colored car. Your indicators would look better in either smoked ( so as to contrast against the stirling silver) or in clear (to compliment it). You still have options but these combinations work really, really well;)

Thankyou. Its not quite mint yet. The front valence needs a paint so thats next to be done. And the seats were out of a 40k car.

Looks really nice mate. I'd keep the 'kidneys' chrome in this instance if it were me. :)

I'd vote chrome, but I'm one of the 15" BBS pipe and slipper brigade. (although your wheels work well)
