A leather covering would look good.Black painting the ICC and spears is easy to do but keeping clean is hard, I painted mine a couple of years ago in silhouette black and within 20 minutes they were dusty as, I'd paint them same colour as the car if your doing it. Since I carbon wrapped my ICC and console I have since reverted back to paint and have done the console and ICC in the Oxidised Steel of the outside highlights of the F6 and did things like my gauge cups, door handle inserts, button switch and window switch surrounds in Breeze, I had a thought that the Breeze would be too over powering in the car and my mates and missus thought the same thing but in the end it does look good, I don't usually like it this way and neither do my mates and they would be the first ones to give me sh*t about it.
