Me thinks I read somewhere that some competition P-cars were silver because they were not painted so as to trim additional weight.

I would say black is choice #1, second choice either a baby blue or a canary yellow, but with the canary yellow gunmetal C2 rims would be a must, and silver following in close

Nick, looks really nice...

I still think that front end gives a nice updated look.
Not chessy, or excessively flared, etc. Just a bit wider, a bit smoother, etc..

Also, the silver s2 next to the black s4 looks really nice.
I had not realized how nice that car can look in a lighter silver.
It almost makes me wish I had gone silver, instead of metallic grey.

And regarding the yellow and black interior, I think a two tone is not
always a rice thing. Sometimes exotics like Ferarris and Lambos have that as well.
So I think it gives a cool upgrade to the 928. As long as it is done well...
Anything like spraypainting engine parts yellow, or chrome, or seat covers, etc,
then you are in the realm of ricers. But as long as the mods are clean, and slick,
they will look factory, and it will make the car look like more of an exotic.
And with a yellow car, it's hard to try to look sedate, or stock. It already
screams "look at me", so you might as well give them something to look at...
If you car is red or yellow, I advocate excess. If it is silver, or some other
more sedate color, understated mods work better...
