You can try looking at other W208's in the picture thread section and see which color(s) you like best. I'd personally stay away from matte black. In takes away the _______. (I can't think of a good word).

What I'm trying to say is... it'll make it look cheaper. Some cars can pull it off. A stock looking W208 can't.

Leave it as is. Silver and black are the best colors on these cars. Matte black never looks good on them. I've owned mine 9 years and not once has another 208 shown up to a car meet. Until last month. It was matte black. I died a little inside.
