I'd say that a deeper anthracite colour would go well with the black decals and carbon bits.... or if you're staying white, then its gotta be bang on match to paintwork or IMO it looks a little odd being a shade or two out.


Cheers,
Grant

If the white is the same as the car, Keep them white. If not either will look good

I prefer Anthracite But Cressy's S1 does look good above

Only white if they match the white of the bodywork, if not they look absolutely pish

Silver looks nice though IMO
