    Black doesn't quite hit the mark. Bright silver will look fresh and clean.
    Bright silver for me

    I saw them on Sunday, must admit I thought I'd not seen them before or if I have I don't know where. Very nice.
    What about a flat grey? The grey on 2010 onwards vw vans looks good I think.
