BMW Performance Stripe on Silver 135i (Help!)

Need some help here folks. I am working a deal on a full load white 135i and the price is coming in steep. I have the option for a Silver one at a substantial savings to me.

It's the stripe mang, I think it makes the car, and it looks awesome on a white 135i, any of you seen (or photoshopped) the BMW Performance stripe on a silver one? Yeah, yeah, I know, silver on silver may not stand out much, but there is "some" contrast there.

Help! I have like 18 hours to decide

I personally think that the stripes ruin the beautiful lines of the car but to each his own:iono:

What is the cost for the stripes?

AW is like a blank canvas. You can easily personalize it. Silver (assuming you mean Titanium) is very different and the stripe would not look as good on it. If you want to see what does look good with silver, look for Silverbullet's pics. That's doing silver right.

Use a gray or titanium color for your strip on the Silver car.

I bought an AW 135i in the end. But, thanks for the advice.

I ve seen silver with silver stripes and it did look quite nice though. But on AW imo you have to apply them as the all white car seems to plain, especially if you don't put any cf pieces or performance accessories.
