Default Decisions whether to colour code or gloss black side strips

Hi I have a mk1 Saxo vtr in silver
I'm debating on colour coding bumper, side strips
Black plastics basically!!
Or do them gloss black??
I need opinions on this what would look best??

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
