Dark Silver + more silver = Unique.....?

Picked this up today, after a little bit of a hiccup on the stripes! But got sorted in the end, and with a more unusual result than I originally intended! Very happy puppy though

Great looking car!! - the chrome pack sets off well against the silver. The stripes give it an edge also!! - I shall keep my eyes peeled next time I am arround town!

Looks good - I wondered (and still do!) about Viper stripes but I wanted to be really picked on the exact colour and width of stripe. Are yours silver or the "dark silver" (not an exact match!) sometimes offered in decals?

In the end a chance request made to the dealer got me a free chequered roof!

Thanks all, you're too kind!

ABG: the stripes are actually a metallic silver vinyl, not as metallic as the car though, but more so than the 'standard' silver used for bonnet stripes and UJ's
