Going to repeat myself but I really like the two-tone theme. John, do you remember 61Mac11 (Phil)? He had an AW 550 with matte black Hamann splitter, M5 trunk spoiler, M Tech diffuser (I think), and black 166s. It looked very sporty; more of a racy theme. I don't think he has his car anymore and I couldn't find any pics of it. VT might.

I like the contrasting theme. Paint the authentic Hamann splitter black too. What would tie this all together are M5 mirrors since they're also two-toned.

Heres my current plan.

If I do go all B&W:

paint hamann spoiler flat black
quads with special tips
powdercoat wheels flat black with white time attack rings
paint shark fin black
leave flat black splitter
= no money for m5 mirrors

or

for the clean/simple look

repolish wheels
quads with special tips
put on white splitter
paint shark fin black
(m5 mirrors possibly)
