Hello and welcome! Just to echo what Chris said, I opted for the auto, which is fantastic. I didn't even drive a manual as I knew what I wanted!

The black windscreen surround was only available on the 'base' model, which was only available overseas, never an option here. Personally, I think it looks better on the black cars.

After having a windscreen replaced, I've seen how easily the surround comes out, so getting it resprayed black shouldn't be too difficult or expensive. Same wit the side grilles.
