Thank you for the compliments.
I do think it looks great.

Jerry says he will do the colour coding on any 116 for $200 flat!

Not a bad deal I reckon.....

Not my cup of tea, but ten points for giving it a shot.

(keep in mind that I always go for the factory original spec anyway...)

Just visualize Michel's car car appearing in your rear vision mirror rather quickly - it'd make an impressive sight ! Yep, you'd see it and sometimes that's what it is all about - isn't it ?? Regards Styria

Don't mind the red at all - would like to see a black one on Michel's car though, to see if it compliments the black grille in the spoiler. I like the idea of charcoal too - the factory light grey seems a bit to light for me.

I chose a red grill to compliment the red colour painted on the Bundts.

Black would be stunning, provided other items were also colour matched.

I even considered an all-red option a la AMG (dechrome, etc....)
