Morning all
After another night of sleep and thinking which ones to go for, I'm almost decided on the the custom ones, but now I'm leaning more towards aluminium finish to match the colour of all the aluminium trims around the cabin. On a black interior they do stand out a bit more because of the contrast between black and silver and the actual size of them. I hate choices like that

 I was against aluminium silver look only because of the picture below where they do stand out a bit with the black interior in the background, but they do look quiet nice, more OEM than sticky ones.

Guys, I'd like thank you for all the input and advice.
I have ordered OEM aluminium paddles and also a set of Polished Clear paddles from S2T. After a lot of thinking and comparing the colours I think they will match interior's extended aluminium pack better than the standard silver finish ones. THANK YOU to all of you Here is the Polished Clear finish

So, my an@l side is a bit disappointed right now as first out of three packages just arrived, chrome steering wheel buttons.
On the pictures they looked exactly same as my ones, very dark grey, but they are black. Dark grey matches the paddles colour (which I will be replacing for the ones from previous reply) but the black matches the colour of the indicators, wipers, screenwash and main beam lever switches. So, I'm not sure yet how I feel about it. Mirror and window switches are also black

Does that mean you might sell all the chrome goodies?
Personally I'd go with black cause it matches almost everything.

Chrome for me to be honest (especially if the paddles will not be black)

Scott, NOOO
  Well, I may have OEM Aluminium paddles, but I will know for sure when I fit OEM one on one side and S2T on the other. I know that black goes with everything, but every single switch or button (apart mirrors and window switches for some weird reason) is finished in very dark grey when you have all grey interior like me. I know I know, I am way to an@l most of the time, but .... And the wipers/main beam levers are black as well, so if all the controls on the steering wheel will be black apart invisible heated steering wheel button then I'll be fine I think, plus chrome around the buttons will more likely distract me from the buttons it self being black. ME is the one under the hammer

OK Scott, this is what I've noticed.
Black buttons are on doors, fuel cap, boot, mirror switch, windows and also lights switch, lights and wipers on the steering wheel column and also check and 00 button on the dash. Also where the ignition is Plus they are a bit a worn out black shade because of the age Dark grey, steering wheel buttons inc heated wheel, air vents. The mmi console is dark grey as well not black and that is the same dark grey shade.
