Default OMP STRUTBRACE....WHAT FINISH SHALL I MAKE IT???

Hi guys/gals ive just got myself an omp single bar strut brace for my saff 4x4 cossie i only paid £20 and its brand new the car is smokestone blue, and at the mo the engine bay is totally rust free,mint and standard bar a couple of bits of bling and an induction filter, as u can see from the pics the brace is yellow so my question is shall i keep the brace yellow or get it sprayed a different colour if so what colour do u think or shall i get it chromed, a local chromer can do it for about £45 ish and will be a superb job , the engine bay soon will have blue samcos all round, spec-r candy apple red cam cover and every bit of polished stainless that can be fitted.........so what do u recon...

1. keep it as it is
2. spray it a different colour?/ what colour?
3. chrome it

im liking the chrome but what do u think? cheers

Gloss black. Engine bay isn't bling nor is it very technical. Keep it tidy.

A matt silver would look best IMHO, i'm going off shiny things, too much chrome looks a bit crap to me
