Exactly... the black mirrors and spoiler look like tacky tacked-on bits and the clear roof panel completely breaks up the flow of the body lines.

Black roof ruins the lines of the car. All-black wheels disappear. The wheels are metallic silver and look great on yellow without the gaudyness of chrome.

Been discussed many times on here. They are to meet pedestrian crash rules in various foreign markets.

Both versions look good. Go sporty with the TTV carbon flash accents and black wheels or classy with body colored roof, accents and silver or chrome wheels. There is no wrong look.
