Gloss black. OEM style. There is nothing else on the hood to compare it to and its far enough away from the matte black and carbon parts to not look out of place.

If you have a pic of the car with the hood very visible I will photoshop a couple of options for you.

Not the greatest photoshop, but gives a quick idea.

If you got a close photo I will try and do it a bit better.

Bronze will be too busy.
Go with black.

Satin black, and not a deep pure black but something with a hint of charcoal.

Nope. First, it's for a pre-facelift W204. Second, it's fiberglass.

as usual, I'm in the minority here...I like the body colored vents (with black mesh), like in the pic in your op.

I think I'll do the whole thing red, wait 30 days, the try one of the wrap colors...might start with black unless I can see a good sample of bronze.

Can someone photochop a bronze version of the vents?

The black vents would flow MUCH better if you blacked out your grill.

I've got to say, IMHO, Dome and CoolBD have the best exterior mods among all the regular C63 here.

Are the vents a separate part or are they attached to the hood?
