PIC REQUEST: Painted Arches on Dark Silver

I haven't been able to find *many* pics of a Dark Silver MINI with painted arches. And the one's I have seen I haven't been too impressed. I'm scared to do it until I finally find the one that look phenomenal. So far I'm feeling like painted arches look good on any MINI OTHER than Dark Silver. Can someone help change my mind please?

Thanks in advance...

I have to agree. I went back and forth on it but I just hate it on DS. Love it on all the other colors though.

Im staying bland

It's been quite a while since I met him, but he was very helpful when beginning my build and in my MINI infancy. What's he gonna do with his MINI, sell it?
