The Titanium Silver looks nice -- very classy color!

Looks Great! What prompted the change. Was it wrecked. Or did you just crave a color change?

Looks more "modern" - you just took three years of your car.

Thanks for your kind comments.
As a matter of fact, I also coloured my hair to look 13 years younger !!
I was told it's the Carrera GT Titanium Silver, it's darker than the Arctic Silver. You can see from the pic that it's a very light shade of blue. I think the seal gray didn't have the blue shade.
I removed the urgly looking reverse sensors & add the C4S tips which I bid on ebay (send it for mirror finish polishing).

I like it. Especially the "*****" it took to make the change. I presume you did it right and now have the car you know, in the color you want.

Nice change!

Did it require to modificate those rear c4s tips or was it kinda bolt on?

It looks better without the "bullet holes" on the rear bumper. Nice job!
