My personal opinion is that when it comes to accents on a red car, black goes better than chrome/silver. You have to be pretty careful where you put chrome/silver if you were to go that way, because if you don't get it right, it will look like rice.

You should post pictures of your car as it is now so better judgement can be made. Don't even consider silver for the wipers though. That won't look as good as it sounds. You should stick with black, though dark red may work, but also break up the contrast between them and the car.

Definitely black for the grill... not that I'm biased or anything. But then if you go this route, you are going to need some more black accents to complement you car. So then we now get to the black rims. Though, because you will obviously have your tires which are black, you can go silver for your rims to give it a little more contrast. Don't go full chrome though as those can look pretty bad if not done correctly.

Red and black FTW.
