I see most seem to prefer using grey rather than black. I was thinking that using black would bring it a little more uptodate. The grey blends away without giving a contrast. Is it a preference for the original look or are you thinking that the black would spoil the look?

My current leaning is Damond cut with black. I know that there are potential issues with longevity, but if looked after they look quite stunning. The place I am using do the painted version, but I was wondering whether that would just look cheaper rather than classy.

Am taking the car in Monday so I lose the car for a week (woohoo), then get a door re-sprayed (a previous repray of the door and front wing by a garage was poor) and the bubbling boot trim re-sprayed and the whole car machine polished with 2 wax applications including a sealer to make it gleam.

Whose idea was a meet anyway? It's costing me a fortune..........
