United-Kingdom Dark Silver or black JCW

Hi I'm new to this forum and I'm about to order a fully loaded JCW.
I'm really tied between dark silver and the new black thats out soon.
Silly question I know, just wanted to get your views on which colour looks best before spending 27k.
Thanks in advane.

Dark silver and black looks fantastic, especially with the carbon fibre bits.

I am ALWAYS happy and smiley

DS/B looks great.
Black will look good, but only for the two hours after you've washed it

BLACK ALL THE WAY! DS is lovely soo lovely, (I am slightly biased) but theres loads of them around. Real deep true brand new Black will look the absolute business - but your spending the cash!

Black does get dirty quickly and the grey will be better (not so dirty looking) but nothing beats a mirror shine black car.

(Can you tell I still miss my Black One?)

Dark Silver/black roof gets best of both worlds and really looks the biz. Really glad i settled for that colour combo. I also have a black Alfa Romeo 147 which does look excellent when clean (or at least it used to before the dents and dings).

Black is always going to look better - cant beat the perfect mirror finish when just cleaned. When a black car is clean it looks cleaner than nearly any other colour IMO.....

BUT - blink and it gets dirty

Having said that though, when you do clean it - theres nothing better
