I prefer silver on a silver grey car - plus I think CSL's stand out better in silver!

Thanks for the input guys, the car is booked in for the 31st and i am still undecided :rofl:

I have silver now and agree they look great, but I get the urge to try a light gunmetal grey. Such a hard decision. :oops:
