Would be great to get people's thoughts colours/finishes I should go for. Given I have a Momo carbon fibre-look gear knob + leather boot...pic below, and want to keep with the understated look, please make your suggestions.



Some thoughts so far:

• Piano Black finish (but shows finger prints/dust, and makes a dark cabin look even darker)
• Apply carbon fibre-look sheeting (decent stuff, not the stuff you find at Superdodge Auto)
• Apply brushed alloy-look sheeting (again, decent stuff).
• Titanium Grey, metallic
• Gloss grey with coloured flake
• Pearlescent silver (my preferred choice atm - similar to stock, but with more depth and gloss). The stock silver is very flat and dull.

/thinking caps on

Is the gear stick surround the same auto and manual??
