Something like this but would it be better with white side panels and frame ? Thinking hard to go another colour as won’t match garage

I'd vote for all black. It will really set off the detailing of the arch. It's such an interesting shape. Maybe add a potplant (small tree) either side too, something like olive or bay in a black pot..

Thank you , liking the plant ideas

I would go all black. It will look a lot smarter. My friend did that with hers, different design to yours, but in a dark grey.

Yes I currently have all black and do love it but was wondering if I should change (natural Bly because of paint cracking issues but it is east facing - if anyone can advise on this )

I am replacing it all , like the pic I posted above which is a better version of what I have already . Just wondering if I should stay all black !

Black is classic.

Make sure you get the full guarantee with your new door. East is only morning sun till midday so you should not have paint cracking issues.

Thanks Isla I do love black , the paint cracking has been a big issue but hoping it was poor door /paint work !
