RS 171 in "British Black" satin finish (aka gunmetal). Painted by Champion, they have proven to be very durable.

Went with gloss, they are not shiny for long and look matte black after they get a little dusty.

SuncoastRyan is a splendid one to behold

Satin charcoal on a silver turbo really does go well together. That takes my vote.

My opinion would vary a bit on the exact color of the car, but in most cases I would say satin as well.

Since the car is Arctic silver in this case, I would say satin all the way.

Satin is easier to keep clean. gloss you not only have to clean. wont show any fine scratches.
