I like the upper and lower silver with the center fins dark, looks clean! I'm not sure I can go with a metal grill, I'm looking at adding Distronic and the grill might have to be all plastic so it doesn't interfear with the trans/reciever unit. Still working with Sunman on DTS or STH for Febuary install.

one question, what colour do you guys think i should paint it as?
Black
Grey
Dark Grey
Silver

Take into consideration that I might have a splitter for my lip, but going to paint probably black (since CF are in shortage), and i got panoramic sun roof

Check out Peter's ( pshek) C320 Coupe grille... do a quick search for his Coupe thread.
It's not CF wrapped, but could be a starting point as far as starless goes.
He made it himself I believe. Looks really good !!

Except there's only one Mattig left, so one of you will be left out in the cold.
