Get it polished. Either that or go with black to match the black side moulding and the tyres. hahaha. If I were you though, I would go with black or polished. I really like the black.

I like the irons a nice glossy black, and the housings and front cover either polished, cleaned really good, or painted silver. That's what I did when I rebuilt my engine and I think it looks great.

My current engine is Red and Silver BUT my new TII motor is Gunmetal and Silver.
I personaly went with Gunmetal and Silver so that I can change the color of vacum hoses when ever needed.
