Silver, the grey looks like you don't clean your wheels!

Thank's guys for your replies

Keep'em coming.

If I have calculated right, the score is now 5 to 4 for the silver.

The silvers cost's about 100 Euros less, but that's not the main point.
The silvers can easily get the Ferricgrey looks, if not washed.

Silver looks great on black with chrome. Ferric grey suits white with shadowline. My vote for your car is for silver

At first glance I thought maybe ferric but after some deliberation it still is classic silver for me...

Great car you chose btw!

Since your car still has the classic look and doesn't have the M package, go with the silver. Once the M package gets released and you decide to start modding(body kit, shadowline,spoiler,etc..), then you can change the color of your wheels to go with the flow and get that sport look.

I do agree, ferric looks better, but not on a car with no kit.

Until then, go with the natural look
