Default CETA Bumper

I have bought a Corsa 3.5 exhaust and i am wondering what might look good with them.
Paint the bumper lip black or keep it the factory color?

EDIT: See sig for back of car.
NOTE: Sig pic does not have the Corsa installed yet.

gloss black without clear or satin black is by far the BEST choice IMO although gun metal would look good as well!
