Black scoop on a Dark Silver S??

What do you guys think to a black scoop on a dark Silver S? Gonna get my bonnet painted cos someone dented and scratched it. Could get the scoop black while its off. I have the aero kit and all the grilles are abviously black and my roof & mirrors are black. Photoshop anyone??

Here's my black scoop on Leccy Blue, with all the other black bits I've got (windows, rear light tints, indicators) I think it looks .

Black on Silver should look Go for it! (keep the silver one just in case)

I see you've done it anyway, however I would have thought about fitting a carbon scoop...but is the black one your scoop repainted? If that's the case, your solution is much cheaper than mine
