Silver is my least favourite colour of all, and when I was 'forced' to buy a silver LS430 as there were no other decent examples in a 100mile radius, I was a bit gutted.

So I'm thinking about getting the behemoth wrapped. Question is, what colour?

- Matte black, for the whole 'VIP' look with a bit of a twist

- Chrome, for the OMFG MY EYES look. But just to be a bit different.

- Matte grey, for the Halfords Primer look.

- Some sort of colourshift, which may look weird on such a big car

- Suggestions???


One thing I want to avoid though is black gloss as I know I will be disappointed by its lack of depth and all too tempted to try and polish it!

Matte black + BIG dished rims = VIPness.

Just PLEASE get them to wrap the shuts as well - nothing worse than seeing a two toned car due to a cheap respray or halfarsed wrap.
