Heres mine for an idea. phantom black over mx grey, i gotta admit im not a fan of the half berlina half calais look as in calais tail lights berlina moulds, if u go calais definetly go with the lower door moulds, garnish and other calais bits and silver bottom or all black. Or go full berlina like mine..
p.s looks nice!
