Which black for grille

I'm looking to change the grille and side trims to black on my Pure and wonder which black to go for.

I've recently changed the mirror caps to black and these came in Santorini when I bought them, they match the roof colour and look good but not sure which black to go for on the grille?

I know a few have changed to the black grille and I imagine this is gloss like the door pillars? Will it look daft with metallic black and would gloss black be better?

Thanks, gloss black it is, now have to work out how to get the side vent trims off without busting the clips? Any tips.

Seen the Powerful uk vid and it appears that a yank will break the plastic.

Heronb there is a video on you tube on how to remove the side vents. Mine were done at dealers as I'm super cackhanded.

I've seen the one from Powerful Uk and I think he busts the clips on the front section? Didnt fancy that so I've bought some trim removal tools so will give them a go.
