Optimill colour choice... Black 90
Anyone got any pics of the grey or silver Optimill hinges on dark / black defender?

Obviously logic says go black but I'm if spending that sort of money on hinges wanting them to notice a bit Laughing

Personal choice but my 2-pence is that because silver parts can look like they are bare metal and unpainted, silver hinges on a black Def may look like you just haven't got around to painting them Whistle

If I was forced to have a contrast, I'd go grey but ensure I had a few other bits that matched (window blocks, etc), so there was a theme... to avoid the 'my hinges got nicked and all the auto breaker had was a silver Def for me to plunder' look Mr. Green

But colour is personal and what do I know!

(Aintree Green and I'm opting for black)
