Blacked Out Emblems on Selenite Grey

Might be a dumb question, but I haven't been able to find any Selenite Grey cars with black emblems. Does anyone have pictures of that? Sorry, but I've got a crappy imagination.

Mine's gloss not satin.. but blacked out.. door handles, rear mb logo, grill and front star. Its debaged on the back. the V8-Turbo on the sides is still chrome (it was all done before I bought it)

looks great. The handles should have been black from the factory imo. The two tone with the chrome is so odd looking.

I'll get round to blacking out the "V8 Bi-turbo" at some point, just not bothering me that much

That's the only badge/emblem that I actually left chrome. 😁

I have blacked out emblems on a black GT, so that won't help you much. I had blacked out emblems on my Tempest gray Bentley, it looked very good.

I CAN imagine blacked out emblems on your car and it would look spectacular!

@cnterline -- Really like the side skirts you had installed. Fairly muted but just brings some style to the side. Do you have a link or pointer to where you picked yours up?

@502Bill - did you have your handles wrapped?

And for both for your blacked out emblems do you happen to have a link to where you bought and if you were happy with the quality?

Thanks! Looking to make a few updates.
