Advice on going from silver to black

Hi guys,

I've been after a black N80 for a while, however, my operator has given me an unbeatable new contract, but they only supply the N80 in silver.
Ok, I thought, I've seen some genuine N80 housings on eBay and thought I'd get the silver and then change it.

Opening-up the phone doesn't worry me, it's the many black options that seem to be available, at least from this particular eBay seller:

First up is the black front fascia - no problrm here.

Next is the black keypad - again, no problem.

Next, is the 'Back Front', as he calls it. He only has this in gloss black.

The problem I have is with the back. He sells a gloss black.

And a Matt black back.

Which back goes on the genuine black N80?

Again, the battery cover is available in gloss black.

And in Matt black.

Finally, there's a black bezel to go around the main keypad.

Any ideas guys? Is the genuine black N80, matt or gloss? I guess you might think this a little pedantic, but I also see it as having an unused spare case (albeit in silver), as I generally keep my phones for several years.

Sorry that this post has got a bit long.

Richard

Do these front facias have the plastic screen installed in them, I was thinking to get a handfull instead of a case so that if my screen gets scratched I could just change the facia, they are soooo cheap and I hate to have my phone in a case.

Do you know the price og original Nokia facia's ??

gloss is the newer black. Gloss looks much nicer. Matt black looks much worse than the sliver N80 imo and cheap.
