The black bits don't quite sit right on a dark car - almost looks like an after-thought; on light cars there's a definite contrast which I believe looks better. I had a similar though with my dark blue bug about carbon bonnet, boot etc and felt it didn't contrast enough hence the red and white bits I added.
It's all down to personal taste at the end of the day, and it's not my car

-Dont like the bonnet lifters IMO glad you are taking them off !
-I think the black looks good except the petrol cap.
-Didnt think the red calipers looked good , but they kinda blend with the rear lights i suppose. If you decided to smoke the rear lights , you could go for gloss black to look more "stealthy".
Love the matt black bits , especially the bonnet , and dont take any comments as negative , just another opinion

Not a fan mate. I love the Forrest Green classics it makes a change from the ussual colours but i think you've ruined it by painting parts black and the calipers red.
You'd be better with carbon parts mate, painting different colour looks likes its had parts straight off another car.
Just my opinion but as i said, not for me.
