I feel the same about white and to an extent silver though chrome is OK but a bit impractical.. Black is the way.

Do it right - use Hammerite

The front looks bigger because the wheel arch is not trimmed meaning it is completely filling the space, its a big of an optical illusion as the rear looks smaller in the space it has.
