Having recently bought a silver car, I find it looks rather bland, silver paint and silver wheels hmm.
Need to add some contrasting black bits to make it more interesting.
What do you all suggest?
I'm already going to change the front grill from the the chrome framed version to an all black one, when I find one. So what else.
 
Why don't you do the wheels anthracite and that will brighten it up a bit.

Was thinking I could do something with the wheels. Had anthracite rotors when I bought it but didn't like that. Maybe black spokes and silver rim would look good.

To be honest (after just changing from a dark wheel colour to a more OE silver) thinking it is nice to have some silver wheel action; everyone is going black/matt black/titanium/etc.

So makes for a nice change, the body trims can then be any colour you like and it just goes, but you cannot really have black wheels with chrome for example; just looks wrong haha
 
silver is a great color! Black treats for contrast make that color. I don't know what your car looks like so maybe post a pic for more ideas.
Painting grill and fog covers gloss black
Silver wing mirrors
Painting front lower valence black
Painting rear lower valence black
Wrapping roof black
Centre caps black backround with silver surround and rings
Black bolt covers
Gloss black brake calipers
35% tint
Update the door handles with matt silver tops to match the wing mirrors
IMHO don't make wheels black

Painting grill and fog covers gloss black-------------They'll be black soon.
Silver wing mirrors----------------Already silver, not got a S3
Painting front lower valence black-----------already black, facelift version
Painting rear lower valence black--------------- Ditto
Wrapping roof black-----------------Have Pan roof, so roof already black.
Centre caps black backround with silver surround and rings---------Good idea, I'll see what I ca do there.
Black bolt covers---------------------Think they are black, easily changed though.
Gloss black brake calipers---------I'm not one of those calliper painting types, I'll consider that.
35% tint -----------------------------Don't like the stick on stuff myself.
Update the door handles with matt silver tops to match the wing mirrors------ That's silver again
IMHO don't make wheels black------------Not rushing into this, thinking some more after the above are done.

Thanks tcardio, good ideas mate.
