Default Colour Coding for Silver Fiesta

I really need help with the following options as I'm going to get some things sprayed for the car and was thinking that I might get them to colour code a few things while there, to save some money.

Although on a Moondust Silver, I'm unsure of what/how much to do. I've made up a few chops and linked you to some Silver Fiestas in the UK and am now just looking for your opinions on what and why, as in what does it make the car look like to you.

Ok Firstly the bootlid handle:

And here are links to pages of silver fiestas in UK who have colour coded their parts at different stages (although most of them have kits and I have no plans to get any kits at present).

Fiesta 1
Fiesta 2

I'm seeing the guy tomorrow so your views ASAP are appreciated

I like option 3 with the boot trim painted. (Just my opinion though)
Good luck.

Hmmm, yep, if you want to paint something option 3 with the boot handle painted would be good or simply paint the lot.

As you can see my ST (XR4i) is red with everything painted as standard. Thats a lot of red! The Silver STs are a lot more understated with everything painted.

Bootlid would look better if it is a chrome strip. I'm not to sure if the Fiesta Ghia comes with that. But makes it look a bit classy

I wouldn't be talking about chrome here some of the people on these forums only care for the boyracer wannabe look.

I know I have seen your grill. But I was talking about people if they argue the point of having chrome.

I'm going to get a Ghia grille too. & then look at getting the boot trim & door handles done in chrome as well.
