I would've said red if there was anything else red on the car but otherwise might look a bit odd. Take SteveP for example, he put orange calipers on so wrapped the grill stripes to match which looked superb imo.

I know what you mean. I like the fact that that the car is black and silver only.

My worry iS that red might look brash !!

The more I think about it, black is the answer.
