depends on what your car looks like now or plans for it really, mainly colour of your wheels

I no it's not silver but had mine done by a local company 100 pounds just make sure they use a good quality plastic primmer and if I was you do all prep work yourself saves money and you will get a better finish as I spent a week doing mine to get mine ready but I also done the wheels which took a while

I think gloss black looks awful, I really like colour coded on most colour Saxos, silver being one of them. Standard plastics with some decent back to black stuff also looks good though :y:
