So nice! Silicon Silver is my favorite. Too bad it wasn't available in '17. My budget is pretty much limited to '17 price range.

They are a factory option (installed by the P.O.). You could buy them from a dealer, but BRITDRIVER found them to be cheaper from Rimmer Bros. in the UK.

These are gray, but yes, they DO come in silver as well.

The black out taillights are vvivid vinyl - I also have luxe wrap which I am going to re-wrap this winter and re-do the reverse lights and side mirror chrome, the headlights are also wrapped in light smoke and the front wind shield is also tinted - rounds out the black look without being obnoxious. My carbon plans for the exterior are mirror caps, front splitter, power vents (on the way), and maybe hood louvres if I can find them. Also going to do some carbon interior, trying to tie-in the black/carbon in a way that it stands out but looks like it belongs. I will likely do interior carbon on the center console, window switches, and steering wheel - not fond the grey soft touch look or feel, but don’t want to cheese it up inside either.
The exhaust tips are epic too. Is the license plate this one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-Style-2....c100009.m1982

Always really liked the silver with the grey top. There's one in my area that I see. But light color roofs are hard to keep clean. We had an Audi A4 Cab that had a tan roof and it really showed the wear.

I have to say I am leaning to buy Rhodium Silver instead of Loire Blue I wanted originaly. The shape of the car is really great in silver and also it is the easiest to photograph
Does the Rhodium Silver some interesting properties or is it just ordinary silver? I mean some sub-tone, sparkles or anything. I recently saw a silver Mercedes AMG GT, ceramic coated, and it looked incredible

i know there are lots of preferences - and the big/camel is a popular one, but I was like 80% set on white with black and 20% on IRR, but when I saw the rhodium with the full red leather, I was done. Easily the best combination to my eye. The rhodium has enough metallic to pop and with the black pack and accents, it looks great.

Are your Sapphire silver cars headturners or more under-the-radar?

I had the Storm Grey for 3 years, now have Dark Sapphire and both are head turners. I would say the Sapphire stands out more and is more of a color shifter based on lighting.

It probably would have been easier getting used to if you had the glass roof.

I'm sure you're correct, but this was a one year old used car and I didn't have that choice.
