Right. Had a play with Adams car (with his permission). I've colour coded the wing mirrors and vents, clear repeaters and had a play with the alloys but I can't decide which looks better.

Standard, a darker anthracite colour, or black.

Thoughts?

BLACK



ANTHRACITE



NORMAL

yeah the gunmetal grey even lightened looks good but darker is better (see the photoshop of ding's gti in other thread) but they looks the nuts on mpi rims, not sure they would suit the 6 spokes as much

black can look good with this colour tro Ryan check out Addz old tro
