You have to follow your heart 
. Go sign on the dotted line for magno silver. I had a CLS in that color and there is a pic of a GTS here and it looks gorgeous.

Suntec is a PPF (paint protection film) that covers the paint.
I am having mine done with a matte version next week.

Do you have any experience with Xpel or 3M?
Also, what areas would you cover? This will be a teachable moment for me.
Best regards

I have the entire front end covered in Xpel, along with the rockers and front bottom of the rear quarters. Do it the day the car leaves the dealers lot. My GTS paint got several chips on the front, paint seems quite soft. Xpel is great, but I've never tried any other brand. It looks great.

I've had both numerous times and as I said suntec lays flatter. Do the whole front clip to top of A pillar and under front rockers behind front wheels.

775- Iridium Silver Metallic
RXC -Performance Rims
6511- Performance Seats with Yellow Stitching
H77- AMG Matte Carbon Trim
Y06- Yellow Seatbelts
Understated ? Yes I guess so; but I like that classic Silver Arrow Spec as I think it's timeless and looks wicked at night!

Can your order the brake calipers in yellow?
I have the Matte Carbon Trim on interior, very nice.
I also have the Matte Carbon crossbar. Unsure if it's worth $1600 but I bought the GTS off the floor and it's nice to look at when I open the rear hatch.

Yes .....in Canada the Yellow Calipers are equipped as standard on all GTR's unless you choose to option the Red Calipers or go to the Carbon Ceramics.
Mine is with Yellow Calipers.....so I think the overall look will be gorgeous!
I didn't spec any carbon outside because I feel like the iridium Silver metallic and the Carbon don't look as nice together as the Piano black Trims against the Iridium do (just my opinion), but I love the matte Carbon interior trims.

The Night Styling package balances well against my Brilliant Blue metallic paint. Might work with Silver too.
