   Im thinking a dark mettalic grey, but google isnt proving useful to getting me examples with names...
   i THINK vw-audis scarbo grey is about right, but cant find a picture that says thats what it is.... any idea guys? pics too please!

   go with white mate.
   everyone seems to go with black, i dont think they really suit the car that well

   was thinking something a little different to anthracite, not sure why, jus tthink its getting to be a bit overdone now
   definately not white, its a silver car, would look shite

   What about a nice grey with a polished lip, would look wicked on yours.

    i dont think i have enough lip without masking the join near the rim and spokes, its like a v and if i get it wrong, i reckon it would ruin it :/
