I haven't seen many photos of cd metallic (silver) focus sedans..... i was wondering what colour pairing you think goes best with a silver coloured sedan?
1. gun metal 2. black 3. silver 4. chrome 5. your suggestion

You mean as an accent color, like for rims, graphics, etc?
It's really up to your own tastes, but as long as you pick colors that dont clash with each other and keep the color accents subtle it should look good. Gray/black/silver are all in the same spectrum, just darker shades of silver so it'll match. And chrome is another personal preference thing, some people like it and some people hate it.

Silver looks wicked a neutral gray.
Something a little darker than the original silver.

Chrome is awsome, but NOT on a Focus! Gunmetal or silver if we are talking about wheels here.

I've seen a silver Audi A6 with like a...merlot color, deep red, but only small accents on the lines of the body and rims. I liked it

yes, i meant flat out rims (not bolt ons or graphics). I agree i think a darker shade of silver/gray (stock) or gun metal would look great. I think black would look good too but i saw how depending on the style of rims it can change the look a lot.
anyone happen to have some pics to show some gun metal rims or black or darker shade of gray/silver on a silver focus?

I think it looks great, I love the look of dark colored wheels on silver cars.. but some people dont. It's really up to you.. but it wont clash at least, so you dont have to worry about that.

I dunno what's with the hate on for chrome here :ph34r:
Did you all get hit by a '57 Chevy Bel Air front end when you were young? :D NefCanuck
All those who are hating on the chrome are simply jealous.

also Jaspher's old foci, he had the flat black rims on his silver sedan with the silver covers for the door handles looked ok.
but if your thinking of stuff like this here's a pic of my car with the black accents on it. ![[Image: 000_0160.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v81/frost__2001/000_0160.jpg) or these two I borrowed from our sister site in the UK. Silver / black ZX3 FFOC uk form

I have a cd silver focus and I plan on doing the gunmetal-like colour accents on my headlights/mirrors/interior pieces/door handles/trunk trim and rims.
all of that might be overkill so some might be taken off that list I think a medium darkness gray is a good accent.
