Wheel Refurb - Colour choice?

Thanks all for the feedback!

I do think I'm leaning more towards the original colour or maybe even brighter silver. Especially after seeing the Photoshop'd pics (ta muchly for that btw, a big help). I think my particular CLK has elegance (that's the trim package btw) rather than contemporary looks so the silver alloys kind of go with that theme.

I'll update this thread when I get it done with some fresh pics. My only problem is most of our local wheel places (Colchester area) will need to keep the car for 2-3 days and it's my commuting car so going to require some logistics to be organised!
 
After doing the Photoshop, I`m in agreement with most others in that your original colour still looks best.
Maybe some different alloys altogether, but in keeping with the elegance of the Merc might be the solution for you ?
 
So the car is in the workshop right now, picking it up later. This is the finish I chose in the showroom, I'll post pics of the end result later.

Yep, looks good, nice bright silver, :)
 
And here it is! I'm making "A Merc great again" haha. Going to see about getting some brand new wheel caps as the originals are bit scuffed:

Got the blue laurel wreath caps, think they go really well with bodywork!

Yeah silver does definitely suit those specific rims on your car better in my opinion.

Those blue caps match quite well too.
 
Look spot on OP.

A nice silver world perfectly against a metallic blue. :)
