    the colour of the mesh depends on the rest of the car, have you got smoked lights, black wheels etc?-thats black mesh
    
    normal silver wheels and clear lights etc then silver mesh suits

    I think meshed do look good, but only on some Saxos depending on colour
    
    I'd stay standard in my opinion though
