Help! Design my accent wrap... X6

I won a partial wrap at a silent auction. I have a 2016 X6 50i XLine Mineral White Metallic. I can get the following pieces wrapped and I am unsure of the color, I could go basic glossy black, however, I like color... I was thinking a metallic purple or a metallic orange...
I get the following wrapped:

Mirrors
Calipers
Fog light bezels
Side Fender Vents
Window Trim
Rear lift gate strip


Front Driver and Passenger windows tinted to 50%
Black grill insert

My only thoughts are that the window trim changes to a matched white... But everything else I have no clue... Nor am I set on the window trim color... The certificate is running out, so I made the appointment and need to let them know by this Thursday am.

Help me out!

Never heard of wrapped calipers, won't the vinyl melt?

I'd do window trim and roof for starters

With the limited items you can get wrapped, I would go with gloss black. If you do a bright color it’s gonna look poorly pulled together since they are mainly small accent areas. If you were going to do part of the hood, roof and trunk in a bright color as well, that could tie it together.

Keep it subtle and do gloss black. Also consider blacking out the wheels. Red or blue calipers.
